NewsScientists pinpoint new drug target for RSV
Scientists have discovered how the dangerous Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) defuses our immune response and, in doing so, they have pinpointed an exciting new target for drug developers.
-
NewsScientists discover how to improve vaccine responses to potentially deadly bacterium
Researchers have shown in an animal model that targeting a key suppressive immune molecule (IL-10) during the delivery of a vaccine improves the ability of the vaccine to protect against infection.

NewsResearchers uncover new reasons to target neutrophils for tuberculosis therapy
Using cell models of infection, scientists examined the cross-talk between two lung immune cells: the macrophage and the neutrophil.
-
NewsResearchers develop material that reduces bacterial infection and speeds up bone healing
Researchers have developed a new surgical implant that has the potential to transform the treatment of complex bone infections.
-
NewsNew bacterial blueprint will help fight antibiotic resistance
Scientists have gained high-res structural insights into a key bacterial enzyme, which may help chemists design new drugs to inhibit it and thus suppress disease-causing bacteria.
