Quick Hits: Japan Begins Trials on New Ebola Vaccine

The treatment, which has previously been tested in monkeys, employs an inactivated form of the virus that can only replicate in artificial cells. The team behind the project at the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Tokyo hope that this will make the treatment safer than the alternatives.
