A new study employs genetic techniques to model ancient ancestors of modern-day organisms, enabling researchers to systematically experiment on different versions of bacteria and reveal possible evolutionary pathways.

The diversity of viroid and viroid-like circular RNAs across species has been revealed by metatranscriptome analysis.

A genomic study of a sustained, multidrug-resistant Shigellosis outbreak in Seattle enabled scientists to retrace its origin and spread.

New research has identified that a layer of CD4+ T cells around the central nervous system acts as a reservoir for HIV during antiviral therapy, enabling a "rebound" of the virus when the treatment is stopped.

The atlas is the largest study of single cells from Crohn’s patients to date, and contains the gene expression profiles of more than 700,000 cells from 71 healthy individuals and patients in varying states of inflammation.

The tumor microbiome can influence the success of immunotherapy in sarcoma patients, reports new research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Editing healthy immune cells with CRISPR safely thwarts the brain's resistance to them, helping researchers to harness immune cell function to treat neurological conditions.

Can something as simple as a cup of coffee with milk have an anti-inflammatory effect in humans? Apparently so, according to a new study. A combination of proteins and antioxidants doubles the anti-inflammatory properties in immune cells.

An infectious disease model that takes into account age-specific contact patterns whilst applying a common modeling approach has been shown to improve predictions of disease spread.

A newly published paper shows that an experimental vaccine against Marburg virus (MARV) was safe and induced an immune response in a small, first-in-human clinical trial.
