Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have been awarded a five-year project agreement to develop Vaccine Immunoengineering for Targeted Antigen Presentation and Layered Control (VITAL), a research program exploring an improved approach to vaccination against respiratory pathogens.
A review paper investigated how coordinated policy frameworks and robust epidemiological infrastructure have been associated with reductions in viral hepatitis–related HCC in Japan, and what gaps remain toward achieving hepatitis elimination.
Escalating conflict and mass displacement in Yemen are increasing the risk of infectious disease outbreaks as overcrowding, inadequate access to safe water and disrupted health services expose growing numbers of people to cholera, measles and other preventable diseases.

Marine bacteria have evolved to bypass the copper-based coatings placed under ships to stop the growth of barnacles, algae, and other marine life. This necessitates new methods for managing biofouling — the unwanted accumulation of marine organisms — on ship hulls.
Researchers have developed a world-first AI system that can detect rabies virus infection in cell cultures and measure protective antibody levels with high accuracy. The approach could make laboratory testing faster, more consistent and more accessible in countries where rabies remains endemic.
A natural plant signalling compound could help apples fight one of their most common storage diseases. Researchers found that salicylic acid slowed blue mould development while reshaping the fruit’s phenolic metabolism, revealing chemical changes that may help explain how apples resist fungal decay.
