Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have combined earlier work on painless microneedles with nanoscale sensors to create a wearable sensor patch capable of continuously monitoring the levels of one antibiotic.

A new study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) found that women who do not menstruate, due to the use of hormonal contraception or menopause, reported unexpected vaginal bleeding after COVID-19 vaccination.

Gut microbes with characteristics of a probiotic found in wild wolves may be the key to alleviating a debilitating gastrointestinal condition common to domestic dogs.

More than 80% of the people who were eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster last fall did not. New research is identifying the reasons why.

Genomic parasites in the form of transposable elements have no specific function but can be dangerous. A new enzyme has been identified that prevents their spread.

Researchers have found that a genetic change that increases the risk of inflammation, through a process described as ‘explosive’ cell death, is carried by up to 3% of the global population.

People frequently exposed to racial or ethnic discrimination may be more susceptible to obesity and related health risks in part because of a stress response that changes biological processes and how we process food cues.

Cell biologists describe a new organelle present in mammalian cells that is made of rings of DNA. This “mini-​organ” could potentially play a role in autoimmune diseases, and it could help researchers to understand how cell nuclei evolved.

Dr. Katalin Karikó and Dr. Drew Weissman share the 2023 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for their research on nucleoside base modifications, which began in the 1990s and ultimately enabled the development of life-saving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

A new study has raised a “warning” that the hygiene hypothesis, which suggests exposure to a diversity of microbes in early life can protect against allergies by strengthening the immune system, might not capture the whole picture of why these inappropriate immune responses are on the rise.
