A durable coating, made from titanium dioxide, has been shown to be capable of eliminating foodborne microbes, such as Salmonella and E. coli, and provides a preventative layer of protection against future cross-contamination on stainless steel food-contact surfaces.

Through a new breakthrough based on genetic engineering, scientists are making it possible for researchers to use ultrasound to watch enzymes at work within cells.

Researchers are screening millions of molecules in order to find those blocking interactions on SARS-CoV-2, to identify those that can be used therapeutically.

Microbiologists have discovered bacteria that feed on manganese and use the metal as their source of calories. Such microbes were predicted to exist over a century ago, but none had been found or described until now.

A vaccine additive known as an adjuvant can enhance both rookie and veteran immune responses to a vaccine containing the exotic avian flu virus H5N1, according to a new study, which may have implications for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development.

Researchers have discovered three distinct immune responses to the SARS-CoV-2 infection that could help predict the trajectory of disease in severe COVID-19 patients.

Scientists have identified a new type of cell that appears in the bloodstream of rheumatoid arthritis patients shortly before joint inflammation flares.

A rapid laboratory test, the eosinophil count, readily obtained from a routine complete blood cell count could aid in the early recognition of COVID-19 in patients, according to new research.

Researchers examining immune cells produced against coronaviruses have uncovered a wealth of information about how this critical aspect of immunity could fight off COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The new study provides hope that some immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 could be long-lasting.

A new study has explored whether soil fluorine levels in New Zealand are high enough to hurt a Rhizobium, bacteria that support legume crops.
