Researchers are using a “digital twin” of two fresh-cut produce facilities to identify the optimal times and locations to look for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes and therefore prevent food contamination.

A new tool which could help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance is showing early promise, through exploiting a bacterial immune system as a gene editing tool.

Scientists have studied how the "licensing" of killer T cells occurs in different viral infections, both with herpes simplex viruses and with SARS-CoV-2, in mice as well as in patients.

A possible explanation has been found in a study for why apoE4, the most significant genetic risk factor associated with Alzheimer’s disease, fails to protect the brain from inflammation.

A trial of a new vaccine against meningococcal disease, a cause of meningitis and blood poisoning, has found that it is safe and induces a strong immune response across five strains of meningococcal bacteria: A, C, W, Y and X.

Researchers have demonstrated the important role of human T cells in controlling RSV infection in the absence of an antibody response.

By comparing the structures of protein complexes from different lineages of the dangerous Lassa virus, a Scripps Research team identified new antibodies and vaccine targets.

New research has revealed that microplastics found in the digestive tract of seabirds altered their gut microbiome, increasing the presence of pathogens and decreasing the number of beneficial bacteria.

A study finds that stressors across the lifespan, including poverty, abuse, and divorce, are associated with worsening health and functional outcomes for people with multiple sclerosis.

A cleft lip or palate arises from the combined effects of genes and inflammatory risk factors experienced during pregnancy, such as smoking or infections.
