New study finds coronaviruses are masters of mimicry, reproducing their host’s immune proteins to remain invisible and help promote infection.
New test captures elusive blood biomarker to help identify severe COVID-19 before symptom onset
An inventive new approach lowers the limit of detection for a common assay, allowing researchers to identify elusive biomarkers in complex fluids, like the blood.
Is there long-term immunity for SARS-CoV-2?
SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were found in patients’ blood up to 7 months after infection, and researchers are hopeful.
Hand-held device reads levels of cancer biomarker
Canadian researchers create technology that reads cancer biomarker like a blood-sugar monitor.
A novel vaccine additive shows good safety profile
A new vaccine adjuvant, which helps stimulate the immune system, has been developed based on two chemicals that are produced by the body.
New method gives more accurate picture of nanoparticle surfaces
It seems that not all nanoparticles attract a protein corona.
Stealthy microrobots that can evade the immune system
Zwitterionic polymers allow researchers to fabricate drug-carrying microrobots that can operate covertly under the immune system’s radar.
Hubble helps uncover the mystery of the dimming of Betelgeuse
New observations suggest that the unexpected dimming of the supergiant star was most likely caused by a dust cloud that blocked starlight coming from the star’s surface.
Hybrid hydrogel paves the way for viable tissue engineering
Scientists apply a versatile new strategy to develop solid−hydrogel hybrid materials to regrow tissue.
