While investigating a way to create an effective malaria vaccine for pregnant women without it attacking the placenta, Danish researchers found that their experimental malaria vaccine can attack cancer cells. The...
Scientists have tested countless drugs as potential cures for cancer, HIV and similar incurable diseases, and they recently found that new graphene oxide biosensors show promise as treatments for both cancer and HIV. A...
The scientists at the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) here have identified a potential area where new antibiotics can be developed. The identification of ‘potential drug target’ by CCMB...
National Institutes of Health scientists and their colleagues identified a previously unappreciated role for the soft palate during research to better understand how influenza (flu) viruses acquire the ability to move...
Evolutionary history suggests they evolved from ancient cells Influenza, SARS, Ebola, HIV, the common cold. All of us are quite familiar with these names. They are viruses—a little bit of genetic material (DNA or RNA)...
Finding the cure to cervical cancer may be closer than we think, as a genetically engineered cervical cancer vaccine has performed well during clinical trials. The new study, published in the journal Lancet, shows that...
Stanford researchers have redesigned the hepatitis B virus so that it is invisible to the immune system and can target certain cells without delivering an infectious payload. This report was published in the Proceedings...
A new test that detects virtually any virus that infects people and animals has been developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, according to results published in the journal...
An international consortium of laboratories from around the world, all of which are studying various differences between dengue viruses, has emphasized that the understanding of dengue virus is too simplistic...
Local medical scientists have found one of the most common viruses in the human body is linked to poor outcomes in patients with most kinds of early-stage cancers. Scientists at the Western Connecticut Health Network...
