Scientists developed a green antibiotic alternative to treat the deadly pathogen Streptococcus iniae in hybrid striped bass, the fourth most farmed finfish in the United States, according to a recent study.

A silicon surface with a series of tiny spikes that damage and kill viruses upon contact has been shown to be 96% effective.

The composition of the gut microbiome can influence how susceptible mice are to respiratory virus infections and how severe infection is.

Researchers found that, before the immune system evolutionarily co-opted it, a protein originally belonged to a gene family responsible for directing cells to move to the right location at the right time to address specific functional needs.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet.

Using a DNA-based scaffold carrying viral proteins, researchers created a vaccine that provokes a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2.

Data gathered using software developed by Johns Hopkins University computer scientists will have 'huge implications' for understanding human health and evolution

A UCLA-led research team has shown that fragments of the coronavirus may drive inflammation by mimicking the action of specific immune molecules in the body.

A new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute, published in JAMA Network Open, sheds some light on the long-term effects of bacterial meningitis.
