The first volunteers have been administered with the first dose of a new vaccine that focuses on the immune response to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

New research has indicated the short-term pain relief offered by anti-inflammatory drugs could lead to harder-to-treat long-term pain.

Genetic mutation "hotspots" that promote cancer growth and development have been investigated in a new study, which could help identify new treatment strategies.

A diet containing at least 8–10 grams of soluble fiber per day is associated with fewer antibiotic-resistant gut microbes, a new study has shown.

Heart problems associated with flu have been shown not to be caused by raging inflammation in the lungs, as has long been predicted, but by direct influenza infection of cardiac cells.

A protein called gasdermin A has been shown to induce a type of cell death in skin cells that promotes immune cell movement to the site of cell death.

Microbes in different soils might use different metabolic pathways to process nutrients, respire and grow, according to new research.

Release of bacterial DNA from the gut microbiome to host cells helps activate the innate immune pathway for DNA sensing, keeping the immune system poised in case of infection.

A new study has characterized samples of the influenza virus that ravaged the world’s population in 1918, revealing information about the pandemic's spread and also highlighting a link between that viral strain and the seasonal flu that circulates each winter.
