Researchers have found a new dual attack mode of action while working on the development of a drug candidate against SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers studying how small worms defend themselves against pathogens have discovered a gene that acts as a cell’s first-line response against infection.

Scientists have pinpointed a gene that helps deadly E. coli bacteria evade antibiotics, potentially leading to better treatments for millions of people worldwide.

A gene for antibiotic resistance has been identified in water-borne bacteria in Georgia, USA.

A computational biology researcher has reported a cross-reaction between Bacillus Calmette-Guérin and SARS-CoV-2 that might help explain what could be driving immunity brought on by the BCG vaccination.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has strongly recommended the drug baricitinib for patients with severe or critical COVID-19 in combination with corticosteroids. In the same guideline update, it also makes a conditional recommendation for the use of the monoclonal antibody sotrovimab in patients with non-severe disease, but only in those at the highest risk of hospitalization.

An international metastudy led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has identified a specific gene variant that protects against severe COVID-19 infection.

Software-analyzed high-resolution videos have revealed that dengue-infected mosquitos are more attracted to mammals and bite more often, tripling disease transmission opportunities.

The demyelinating neurodegenerative disease multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complication of infection by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), suggests a new study published in Science by researchers at Harvard Medical School.

Scientists from Yale University have developed a wearable air sampler that has been tested for its ability to detect airborne SARS-CoV-2. The study results are published in Environmental Science and Technology Letters.
