New research has uncovered how cancer-causing viruses hijack a human protein to help the viruses evade the immune system to spread undeterred.

A new type of antibiotic that can be rapidly re-engineered to avoid resistance has been developed by researchers.

Flushing a toilet sprays out tiny droplets of water, urine and feces into the air containing thousands of virus particles, but urine-diverting toilets can reduce a person’s exposure compared to traditional systems.

Newly developed recommendations for quantitative viral DNA measurements could be crucial for the evaluation of therapeutic strategies for hepatitis B.

Scientists have succeeded at developing a complex “next-generation” intestinal organoid that includes key elements of a functional immune system.

While studying tuberculosis (TB) susceptibility in zebrafish, scientists believe they have solved the query as to why Ashkenazi Jews are significantly more susceptible to a rare genetic disorder, and less susceptible to TB.

Researchers found that one in five newborn babies may not have measles antibodies passed down from their mothers. Other strategies may need to be considered in case of an outbreak that affects babies before they can receive their MMR vaccine at 12 months of age.
