A new, quicker way of detecting antibiotic resistance in bacteria using nanotechnology has been developed by a team of scientists.

A study involving more than 5,000 COVID-19 patients in Houston finds that the virus that causes the disease is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious.

A recent preprint study, published in bioRxiv, demonstrates robust T-cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 viral peptides six months after initial infection in all participants following asymptomatic, mild or moderate COVID-19.

A PhD student has developed detection methods based on photoacoustic spectroscopy that make it possible to measure unprecedentedly small traces of various gases.

Initial findings from a new study led by Loughborough University have shown how COVID-19 can be detected via a non-invasive breath test, providing almost instant results.

In a world-first, engineers at Monash University have developed a diagnostic that can help deliver urgent treatment to people at risk of dying from rapid blood loss.

Mayo Clinic is collaboarting with Vocalis Health to research and develop new voice-based tools for screening, detecting and monitoring patient health.

A team of researchers from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark set out to investigate how important immune cells react to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A new study suggests that COVID-19 affects the human body’s blood concentration levels of specific metabolites. Three metabolites identified in the study could act as biomarkers and hold potential to be measured through an inexpensive blood test to quickly screen patients for the disease.

Over 80 percent of 200 COVID-19 patients in a hospital in Spain have vitamin D deficiency, according to a new study.
