Researchers have designed and developed proteins that bind tightly to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, preventing the virus from infecting lab-grown human cells.

Researchers compared lipoproteins and metabolites in the blood of COVID-19 patients and healthy subjects, revealing signs of multi-organ damage in patients that could someday help diagnose and treat COVID-19.

Gut microbes affect human health, but there is still much to learn, in part because they’re not easy to collect. But researchers now report that they have developed an ingestible capsule that in rat studies captured bacteria and other biological samples while passing through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Hundreds of innovators, research pioneers, clinicians, industry leaders and policy makers from all around Europe are united by a vision of how to revolutionize healthcare. In two publications, they present a detailed roadmap of how to leverage the latest scientific breakthroughs and technologies over the next decade, to track, understand and treat human cells throughout an individual's lifetime.

News emerged today (September 9) that a Phase III clinical trial of the COVID-19 vaccine ChAdOX1 – a recombinant adenovirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca – has been paused.

Research approach provides the foundations for scientists to be able to prevent genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from reproducing with wild organisms.

Scientists have discovered an unexpected tissue reparative role for a rare immune cell type in the gut that could tip toward fibrosis or cancer if dysregulated. The breakthrough will have important implications for treating patients who suffer from inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Researchers from the Severinov Lab at Skoltech have looked at how a poorly studied type of CRISPR-Cas defense system from a bacterium living at extremely high temperature gets to know its enemy by selecting snippets of bacteriophage's genetic information for a genetic "database" it uses to ward off subsequent infections.

When vegetable farmers harvest crops, they often rely on postharvest washing to reduce any foodborne pathogens, but a new study shows promise in reducing these pathogens by applying FDA-approved sanitizers to produce while it is still in the fields.

Leather is used as a durable and flexible material in many aspects of everyday life. Now, scientists demonstrate the considerable potential of renewable sustainable leather substitutes derived from fungi.
