Genetic technologies like CRISPR have become an integral tool for strategies to control infectious diseases spread by living organisms like kissing bugs.

Mount Sinai researchers have revealed the biological mechanisms by which a family of proteins known as histone deacetylases (HDACs) activate immune system cells linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory diseases.

Body odor from the armpits comes from bacteria metabolizing sweat produced by the apocrine glands. Generally, people use deodorants on their armpits, but perhaps there is a way to get rid of the bacteria.

Many plant-based meats have seemingly done the impossible by recreating animal products ranging from beef to seafood, but they may be lacking in protein.

A metal alloy composed of niobium, tantalum, titanium and hafnium has shocked materials scientists with its impressive strength and toughness – its secret? A rare kink band defect.

EPFL researchers are targeting the next generation of soft actuators and robots with an elastomer-based ink for 3D printing objects with locally changing mechanical properties, eliminating the need for cumbersome mechanical joints.

Researchers are developing and validating a patent-pending treatment for incurable glioblastoma brain tumors. Traditional methods used against other cancers, like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, are often ineffective on glioblastoma.

T-cell exhaustion can prevent optimal responses to immunotherapy, but a new cytokine "cocktail" may help increase T-cell survival.

Plant-derived nanoparticles, including those from rice bran, could be used as alternatives to traditional cancer treatments.

A novel vaccination strategy utilizing small interfering RNA molecules could protect infants from COVID-19 and flu with a single shot. The study suggests that the vaccine strategy could offer continued protection even if the virus mutates.
