MIT researchers have now designed a sensor that can distinguish between viral and bacterial pneumonia infections, which they hope will help doctors to choose the appropriate treatment.

Novel biotechnology platform-based techniques could be more quickly adapted to manufacture vaccines that are more robust, customizable and flexible than traditional approaches.

Scientists have discovered a complex network of connections between tissues that allows the liver to regulate body temperature.

A "cellular brake", which could prevent lung cancer patients from developing a dangerous autoimmune response during immunotherapy treatment, has been identified by scientists at the University of Birmingham.

Combining an artificial intelligence-based program that predicts protein structures with experimental and computational techniques has helped scientists figure out the human nuclear pore complex’s architecture in greater detail than ever before.

A study has shown that one specific set of antibodies that is induced naturally by beneficial gut bacteria can be transferred from mothers to infants through breast milk and help infants defend against infection-induced diarrheal illness.

Inhaled aerosol vaccines provide far better protection and stronger immunity than nasal sprays, McMaster scientists who compared respiratory vaccine-delivery systems have confirmed.

A deep dive into the 5,500 marine RNA virus species scientists recently identified has found that several may help drive carbon absorbed from the atmosphere to permanent storage on the ocean floor.

20 new case studies have been reported where bacteriophages have been used to treat Mycobacterium infection, with successes in more than half of cases.

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a new chemical-only process that may represent an important breakthrough in creating customized mRNA vaccines for a variety of diseases and allow for the inexpensive preparation of mRNA in large quantities.
