Results from an ongoing clinical trial show that a three-dose course of a hepatitis B vaccine protects people with HIV from contracting hepatitis B.

The risk of developing inflammation of the heart muscle is seven times higher with COVID-19 infection compared to the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a new study.

A mushroom that infects and kills insects has been known to produce a bioactive compound that could be used as an antiviral or cancer drug, but growing these fungi in the lab has proved to be challenging, until now.

Researchers have developed a method to swiftly identify natural products from bacteria using a laboratory automation system called iBioFAB, which could lead to the development of new antibiotics.

Scientists have invented a way to observe bacteria in 3D environments and found that as they grow, their colonies consistently form rough shapes resembling a branching head of broccoli, much more intricate than forms typically seen in a flat dish.

Researchers have developed a strategy to noninvasively track macrophages within brain and breast tumors in living mice.

Cryo-electron microscopy has enabled researchers to elucidate the exact molecular structure of an IgM-type B-cell receptor.

A government-funded study on the potential for cross-contaminating kitchen surfaces with pathogens during food preparation has pointed to an unlikely culprit for spreading sickness: spice containers.

Researchers have identified a gene that may provide a therapeutic target for the deadly, treatment-resistant brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme.

New research has uncovered a selfish gene family that has survived for over 100 million years, 10 times longer than any meiotic driver ever identified, casting new doubt on established beliefs on how natural selection and evolution tackle these threatening sequences.
