Researchers have shown that the inflammatory molecule IL-17 has a key function in skin aging.

A new study that sheds light on how B cells react to skin cancer cells could pave the way for innovative therapy design.

Some microbes in the guts of humans and mice may help control the buildup of plaque in arteries, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, by gobbling up a group of inflammatory chemicals before they can circulate in the body.

New study suggests some vaccines could induce a protective shift in the microorganisms that live with a host organism.

A research team has engineered tissue with human cells that mosquitoes love to bite and feed upon with the goal of helping fight deadly diseases transmitted by the biting insects.

Researchers have found that reverse-pressure sterilization can produce a less-allergenic shrimp product that, when tested in mice sensitive to the crustaceans, did not cause severe reactions.

Large study in children reveals Selenomonas sputigena as a key partner of Streptococcus in cavity formation.

A multi-institutional research team has found that Neanderthal DNA can actively influence some human traits, particularly those involved in immunity.

Researchers have discovered that viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 can cause brain cells to fuse, initiating malfunctions that lead to chronic neurological symptoms.

More than 5,000 people are diagnosed annually with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). To date, only a handful of drugs exist to moderately slow its progression. There is no cure. But researchers have identified a new player in the disease—an ancient, virus-like protein best known, paradoxically, for its essential role in enabling placental development.
