Phylogenomics has shown that as mammals evolved, the lice that feed on them evolved at a similar pace, resulting in family trees with parallel branches and twigs.

An important research discovery could lead to more effective treatments for the world’s 262 million asthma sufferers.

A research team has proposed a new live-attenuated influenza vaccine approach — generating proteolysis-targeting chimeric (PROTAC) influenza A virus as a live-attenuated vaccine by utilizing the endogenous ubiquitin-proteasome system of host cells to degrade viral proteins.

A recent breakthrough from Tokyo University of Science researchers has reduced the synthesis time of antibacterial compounds from days to just 10 minutes.

Scientists have discovered how a protein and enzymes interact to allow hepatitis A virus to replicate, and then used a known drug to stop viral replication in an animal model.

According to research, an unusual type of thymocyte cell found in small amounts in every person may be the reason why some people develop T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

An antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 that doesn't require a blood test has been developed, as it uses microneedles and a paper-based immnuoassay instead.

Hox genes are responsible for ensuring cells learn and remember their location in the body, and new synthetic DNA technology has enabled researchers to create artificial versions to understand how they work.

A coral pathogen that causes stony coral tissue loss disease eliminates other bacteria associated with coral by inducing prophage in the native microbiota.

A new method for measuring SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies could become a valuable tool in determining when booster vaccinations are needed.
