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.

Scientists have developed a new approach to study Sars-CoV-2. For systematic and standardized research of Sars-CoV-2 they built minimalistic synthetic virus particles where they can incorporate distinct structures of the Sars-CoV-2 virus like the spike protein.

Bacteria have been engineered to convert carbon dioxide into acetone and isopropanol, both of which are valuable industrial chemicals otherwise generated using fossil fuels.

A study has identified a molecular "culprit" responsible for causing damaging levels of cell death and inflammation in the body.

Researchers have developed a new radio-labeled molecule able to selectively react with certain high-energy radicals characteristic of innate immune activity, which may allow a non-invasive approach to monitor inflammation in real time.

A new study has identified an association between a genetic variant that increases the risk of developing severe COVID-19 and protection against HIV infection.

Analysis of 60 billion tweets has shown that social media can form an echo chamber contributing to vaccine hesitancy.

Treating babies with antibiotics in the first week of life is linked with a decrease in healthy bacteria necessary amongst others to digest milk and an increase in antimicrobial resistance, research suggests.

A post-transcriptional modification to mRNA can protect the mRNA from virus-mediated degradation in Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection.

A protein complex involved in controlling cell death has been identified and targeted for inhibition to protect cells against excessive cell death in inflammation-associated diseases.
