Researchers discovered potential cosmetic compounds in the gut bacteria of red seabream and blackhead seabream. The study found that molecules from these bacteria inhibit key enzymes involved in skin pigmentation and aging.

Ocean microorganisms could be used to address the shortage of antimicrobial medicines, with 10 new peptides identified in a new study.

Researchers have discovered an antibody able to neutralize all known variants of SARS-CoV-2, which could better protect the population against current and future variants.

The mold Aspergillus fumigatus produces an enzyme on the surface of its spores with which it can attenuate the human immune response. This makes it easier for for the fungus to colonize human tissue with severe courses of infection.

A pilot study identified that stress, BMI, exercise, and hormonal birth control influence COVID-19 vaccine side effects. Notably, exercise impacts side effects differently between doses.

A study reveals how sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, regulate immune system functions. Analyzing hormone therapy effects in transgender men, researchers identified changes in immune signaling pathways.

Study identifies CD8+ T cells as a key factor preventing lung healing after viral infections like COVID-19. This discovery could lead to new treatments for post-viral lung scarring, or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary fibrosis.

Researchers discovered that inflammation from conditions like graft-vs-host disease permanently alters intestinal stem cells (ISCs), reducing their ability to heal the gut even after inflammation resolves.

Cases of Valley fever have increased dramatically over the last two decades, and California's droughts may be to blame.
