A research group has proposed a microbial platform for lignocellulose bio-refinery. It can efficiently synthesize acetyl-CoA derivatives

New research has highlighted the impact of pragmatic support options, including rapid access to antiretroviral therapy and pharmacotherapy, for HIV-infected drug users.

Immune cells generate their own guidance system to navigate complex environments, reveals a new study that challenges earlier notions about how immune cells move.

In a newly released survey of thousands of U.S. adults, respondents most frequently cited exposures to biological sources, such as mold and algae “blooms,” and/or fossil fuels, their combustion products and synthetic chemical derivatives.

According to a study, US dog owners who harbor mistrust in the safety and efficacy of childhood and adult vaccines are more likely to hold negative views about vaccinating their four-legged friends.

Patulin is a mycotoxin responsible for a wide variety of health hazards. A research team looking for ways to keep toxicity in check has discovered a filamentous fungal strain that can transform absorbed patulin into a less toxic compound.

Influenza viruses primarily target respiratory epithelial cells to replicate, where they cause cell damage and death. Scientists have now discovered how these viruses stimulate the formation of membrane pores in the epithelial cells.

Early life influences and the gut microbiome are associated with children developing any of four common allergies: eczema, asthma, food allergy and/or hay fever.

Hidden HIV cells are responsible for the virus permanently remaining in the body and cannot be treated by current therapy options. In new research, an existing blood cancer drug has shown promise in killing these "silent" HIV cells.

Until now, scientists believed the thymus didn’t contain "true" epithelial stem cells. However, new findings show the presence of self-renewing stem cells, which give rise to the thymic epithelial cells instructing thymocytes to become T cells.
