Nonhuman primates treated with the mRNA vaccine recovered faster and had less severe disease than those given available mpox vaccines. 

Researchers uncovered the structure of the measles fusion glycoprotein and identified a neutralizing antibody capable of decreasing its virulence.

Organic molecules with novel biological properties offer new ways to eliminate multidrug-resistant bacteria. 

Researchers designed a nanoparticle that inactivated a wide range of COVID-19 strains, potentially offering a broad-spectrum therapeutic approach.

Scientists identified specific genes that confer protection or vulnerability to various infections, pointing the way to new treatments.

In the 1930s, HPV wasn’t on the radar for most scientists.Four decades passed before anyone connected HPV with cervical, penile, or anal cancer, and it took even longer before scientists developed a prophylactic vaccine.

Viral diseases like hepatitis don’t have many successful treatments available, so scientists are engineering antibodies to try and change that.

Scientists have appreciated the roles of bacteria in our microbiomes for decades. Now, they’re studying the effects of the trillions of viruses that call the human body home.

Oral vaccines stop pathogens in their tracks before they get a chance to cause disease.

Researchers discovered how SARS-CoV-2 invades and spreads through nasal epithelial cells, identifying potential new drug targets to prevent transmission.
