A gene mutation underlying various inflammatory skin disorders also delays wound healing but there are ways to normalize the process, scientists suggest.

Researchers at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago have discovered a general property for understanding how immune cells sense and respond to microbial signals.

Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle have shown that a potent antibody from a COVID-19 survivor interferes with a key feature on the surface of the coronavirus’s distinctive spikes, causing them to drop off.

Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh have gathered more than 80 studies, reviewed the data, and identified commonalities that are helping to paint a broader picture of how COVID-19 affects the brain.

A new study suggests that COVID-19 affects the human body’s blood concentration levels of specific metabolites. Three metabolites identified in the study could act as biomarkers and hold potential to be measured through an inexpensive blood test to quickly screen patients for the disease.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Switzerland's Lausanne University Hospital/University of Lausanne (CHUV/UNIL) may have found a way to treat cancer without the onset of debilitating side effects.

A new study by researchers at UC Santa Cruz shows how a genetic mutation throws off the timing of the biological clock, causing a common sleep syndrome called delayed sleep phase disorder.

Scientists have discovered a way to halt the growth of glioblastoma, a deadly brain cancer. The team has devised a new tactic in the war against cancer that involves reprogramming the immune system to fight the tumor, rather than fueling it.

Scientists have completed a three-dimensional map that reveals the location of every atom in an enzyme molecule critical to SARS-CoV-2 reproduction.

Frozen methane deposits in the Arctic Ocean, a key carbon store, risk release into the atmosphere as permafrost thaws in our warming climate. This could contribute to ongoing greenhouse gas problems.
