Scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based strategy for discovering high-affinity antibody drugs.

Gene drives designed for mosquitoes have the potential to curb the spread of malarial infections that cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. A new system for testing and developing gene drives in the laboratory and safely converting them into tools for potential real-world applications has been developed.

Babies born naturally were found to have higher antibody levels, compared with those born via caesarean section after receiving their jabs that protect against bacteria that cause lung infections and meningitis.

Using DNA barcodes to track cancer cells through time, Garvan scientists have shown that cells within a cancer have diverse abilities to escape immune system defences.

A new class of drug transporters have been created from DNA and are 20,000 times smaller than a human hair, in a discovery that could improve treatment for diseases like blood cancer.

Scientists have created a probiotic to restore bile salt metabolism, found in the gastrointestinal tract, to counter the onset and effects of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI).

When cells reproduce, the internal mechanisms that copy DNA get it right nearly every time. Rice University bioscientists have uncovered a tiny detail that helps understand how the process could go wrong.

A new study has characterized samples of the influenza virus that ravaged the world’s population in 1918, revealing information about the pandemics spread and also highlighting a link between that viral strain and the seasonal flu that circulates each winter.
