A type of nanoparticle can activate a powerful immune response, showing promise for use as both the vaccine delivery system and as an adjuvant.

Post-menopausal women face an increased susceptibility to metabolic diseases, including obesity and type-2 diabetes. Now a new study sheds light on the factors that potentially drive this risk and how the gut microbiome could play a role.

A collaborative team of researchers from POSTECH and the Kyungpook National University developed an implant coating triggering antibiotic release in response to bacterial infection.

Bacteria can be tricked into sending death signals to stop the growth of their slimy, protective homes that lead to deadly infections, a new study demonstrates.

A man who claimed to receive 217 vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 has a healthy, functioning immune system, an analysis of his blood reveals.

Problems with iron levels in the blood and the body’s ability to regulate this important nutrient as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection could be a key trigger for long COVID, new research has discovered.

According to new research, regularly substituting meat for mycoprotein such as Quorn is comparable to switching to a Mediterranean or vegan diet and could help lower bad cholesterol by 10 percent.

In high-risk groups, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) can trigger aggressive cancers. Research has shown how KSHV drives cell metabolism and proliferation. Inhibiting this process can block lymphoma progression and shrink existing tumors in preclinical models.

Researchers have found a novel genetic arrangement that could help a common bacterium in the human gut protect itself from a widely used antibiotic, and have discovered previously unseen genetic arrangements that confer antibiotic resistance.

Patients with recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) frequently complain of chronic pelvic pain and urinary frequency, even after a round of antibiotics. Researchers have now identified an overgrowth of nerve cells in the bladder as the likely cause of recurring UTIs.
