Small differences in a liver cell protein have significant impacts on hepatitis C virus replication in mice and humans, findings that could facilitate the development of a mouse model of the infection.

A novel method to engineer large multi-antibody-like nanostructures using DNA nanotechnology could enhance properties of traditional therapies.

Physicists have delivered virologists a "recipe" for improving vaccine drops using methods from the world of nanophysics.

A stem cell-based model of neuron resilience has been developed to help identify genes contributing to resilience, with the possibility of leveraging the findings in gene therapy to strengthen sensitive motor neurons.

A bioengineered replacement human blood vessel has been developed that could one day benefit people who receive kidney dialysis or undergo coronary bypass surgery.

Many people have heard that drinking cranberry juice can help prevent urinary tract infections. Now, researchers have identified cranberry oligosaccharides in the urine of cranberry-fed pigs that could be responsible for this activity.

Scientists have used an experimental therapy that relies on bacteria-infecting viruses collected, in part, through HHMI’s SEA-PHAGES program to fight a Mycobacterium infection in a 15-year-old girl.

Columbia Engineering and Vanderbilt researchers are first to demonstrate in a clinically relevant model that severely damaged lungs can be regenerated to meet transplantation criteria, which could lead to more lungs available for transplant.
