Scientists have engineered the first breed of genetically modified mosquitoes resistant to spreading all four types of the dengue virus.

New research published in Nature suggests that B cells also play a major role in predicting of patient’s response to immunotherapy, whilst it was previously thought only T cells could be used in this way.

An injectable, biomaterial-based vaccine, when combined with standard chemotherapy, resulted in the complete and lasting recovery from, and immunity against, the deadly blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in mice.

Researchers from the University of Bath have discovered a molecule with the ability to suppress melanoma tumors.

Specifically programmed materials can, under specific conditions, encourage stem cells to transform into bone cells – as revealed by a German research team under the leadership of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht.

A protein newly identified as important in type 1 diabetes can delay onset of the disease in diabetic mice, providing a new target for prevention and treatment in people.

In a promising discovery that could improve the clinical delivery of insulin for people living with diabetes, scientists have developed a non-fibrillating form of human insulin.

A research group has developed a method of controlled phage therapy for treating antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.

A team of researchers has identified a protein complex that is elevated in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The team have designed a peptide to target and interfere with the complex, this interference could help treat symptoms of the disorder.
