NewsThe future is personalised care for influenza and flu-like illness
A new research review will focus on a future of more personalised care for diseases such as influenza, so that patients and doctors will be able to more accurately determine when the infectious part of the illness has passed.
-
NewsResearchers reveal how the SARS-CoV-2 virus acquires its spherical shape
Researchers report that when the M protein, which is adjacent to the spike protein on SARS-CoV-2, gets lodged in the membrane, it coaxes the membrane to curve by locally reducing the membrane thickness.

NewsNew approach may prevent deadly intestinal disease in preemies
Scientists have found that an investigational protein replacement protected neonatal mice from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a deadly intestinal disease that often strikes extremely premature infants.
-
NewsYeast and kelp flies can replace fishmeal in feed
Kelp flies and marine yeast cultivated on by-products from the seafood industry can be used in feed for farmed salmon.
-
NewsRNA as a common language, presented in extracellular speech-bubbles
Decoding the conversations between microbes of hypersaline environments reveals insights into the origins of complex life.
-
NewsDrug-resistant tuberculosis responds rapidly to bedaquiline-based second-line therapy
Patients who have drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) have a similar microbiological response to bedaquiline-based second-line medications as patients with drug-sensitive TB taking first-line regimens.
-
NewsStudy reveals potential flaw in operating room ventilation that increases risk of Covid infection
Simple modifications to ventilation systems improve airflow, making operations safer for both patients and surgical teams.
-
NewsResearchers reveal molecular mechanism of CsMLO8/11 in regulating cucumber powdery mildew resistance
Scientists have made important progress in uncovering the molecular mechanism of powdery mildew (PM) resistance in cucumber.
-
NewsNew disease testing component facilitates lower-cost diagnostics
Biomedical researchers have developed a new, less expensive way to detect nuclease digestion – one of the critical steps in many nucleic acid sensing applications, such as those used to identify COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
-
NewsArtificial intelligence has huge potential in infection control, as long as the right questions are asked and safeguards are in place
Artificial intelligence can help prevent infectious disease outbreaks including ensuring staff wear personal protective equipment correctly and managing day-to-day hospital activities such as medication prescription and cleaning.
-
NewsAI could improve speed and accuracy of response to infectious disease outbreaks in hospitals
A research review will highlight the potential artificial intelligence (AI) has to improve speed and accuracy of investigations into infectious disease outbreaks in hospitals, and potentially provide real time information to stop or prevent them.
-
NewsBiodiversity of gut bacteria is associated with sexual behavior
Researchers demonstrated a significantly higher biodiversity of the gut microbiome in men who had sex with men.
-
News‘Artificial tongue’ detects and inactivates common mouth bacteria
Researchers have designed a chemical sensor array, or an artificial tongue, that distinguishes dental bacteria and can inactivate them.
-
NewsAustria isolates and genotypes Leptospira bacteria for the first time
The serological diagnostic test used to detect antibodies against the bacterium responsible for leptospirosis performs better when local variants are used but no locally circulating strain has been available in Austria - until now.
-
NewsMosquito thermal adaptation could shift patterns of disease spread under climate change
Thermal adaptation can determine their risk of transmitting mosquito-borne diseases and how this risk might change in the future as they respond to climates warming.
-
NewsVaping can increase susceptibility to infection by SARS-CoV-2
Vapers are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that spreads COVID-19 and continues to infect people around the world, a new study has found.
-
NewsEffects of primer pairs, PCR conditions, and peptide nucleic acid clamps on plant root fungal diversity assessment
A new study evaluates the combined effects of primer pairs, associated annealing temperature (Ta), and PNA clamps in determining the fungal community diversity and composition associated with plant roots.
-
NewsBCG mechanism extends protection to beat influenza A
A new study uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that extends the BCG vaccine’s shield to combat influenza A virus—the most prevalent flu strain.
-
NewsFusion protein reveals a conservative antigenic domain across herpesviruses
A new study proposes that the gB DII domain within the herpesvirus family constitutes a broadly conserved neutralizing epitope structural domain.
