Scientists appear to have discovered a way to produce a true structure of the rare but naturally-occurring anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C from start to finish.

A new study has constructed an “aging clock” for the female body – information missing from previous studies of aging. The research mapped 4 domains of biological aging – chronic inflammation, hormonal regulation, tissue fitness and lipid metabolism – that can together accurately measure female biological age.

A new study has shed light on the biological mechanism underlying atherosclerosis – a hardening of the blood vessels – which could potentially lead to the development of new treatments.

Researchers have shown that auto-aggressive T cells that cause damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) are activated in a specific area of the intestinal canal and that activation is microbiome-dependent.

Using a new method, researchers have discovered how the hepatitis C virus evades the human immune system.

Chemists develop mineral plastics with numerous positive properties from sustainable basic building blocks and, together with biologists, demonstrate the material's excellent microbiological degradability.

Researchers have discovered a protein that plays critical roles in alerting the body to a bacterial infection and initiating an effective immune response to fight back against the invasion.

Researchers demonstrated for the first time that there is a significant link between behavioral stress and the effectiveness of vaccines. Acute stress increased antibody responses to the vaccine but reduced antibody breadth, diminishing protection.

A research team has succeeded in producing a new vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus by identifying spike protein mutants that lack binding affinity.

Surprising insights on pertussis vaccines pave the way for next-gen protection
