Scientists are working on an environmental DNA sequencing method that would make it possible to identify potential sources of fecal contamination, particularly in water that flows through urban and agricultural environments.

Chemists at MIT have developed a novel way to synthesize himastatin, a natural compound that has shown potential as an antibiotic.

A nanoparticle-based vaccine could help mitigate the damage of one of the most devastating illnesses in swine farming.

The first computer model of the HIV-1 liposome has been developed, offering insight into its role in the virus's replication and infectivity.

A key transcription factor in T-cell immunology is crucial to the immune system’s “memory”. It may be possible to improve this immunological memory in vaccines, according to a new paper by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI).

Scientists used bioinformatics and deep sequencing to identify soil viruses and better understand their roles in the Earth.

A study has reviewed dozens of evaluations of four COVID-19 vaccines and found that they retain nearly all of their ability to prevent severe disease up to six months after full vaccination.

An advanced research instrument has been developed that can detect SARS-CoV-2 in small fluid droplets exhaled when coughing or breathing.

Researchers have discovered a central signaling pathway in immune cells that may help the development of new therapeutic approach for autoimmune diseases.

Researchers have found a new way to impair antibiotic resistance in bacteria that cause human disease, including E. coli, K. pneumonia and P. aeruginosa, which are responsible for the majority of harm caused by resistant infections.
