Study develops dissolvable microneedle patches for administering influenza vaccine

Study findings published online in The Lancet on June 27, 2017 have found that an experimental patch of dissolving microneedles can produce robust immune responses for influenza. The microneedle patches can be administered safely and can be a substitute for the needle-and-syringe vaccination. With further advancements, they could remove the uneasiness in using an injection and inconvenience of visiting a flu clinic, as well as offering cost benefits.

Research provides insights into how light may interact with the brain to affect sleep

Humans are diurnal animals, meaning that we usually sleep at night and are awake during the day, due at least in part to light or the lack thereof. Light is known to affect sleep indirectly by entraining--modifying the length of--our circadian rhythms and also rapidly and directly due to a phenomenon known as masking.
