A rare group of patients have been found to maintain a very low viral load and a functional immune system after stopping antiviral treatment.
Sharing misinformation is habitual, not just lazy or biased
The spread of misinformation on social media is often blamed on users, but new findings challenge the misconception that political prejudice and a lack of critical thinking are solely responsible.
Using nanomaterials as antivirals in the fight against COVID-19
Scientists are investigating how fullerene nanomaterials can be used as antivirals against different variants of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses.
With fewer disruptive studies, is science becoming an echo chamber?
An analysis of 45 million papers and 3.9 million patents since 1945 shows that the rate of disruptiveness in science is steeply declining.
What shapes the lung microbiome?
It is generally accepted that a community of beneficial bacteria make up the lung microbiome, but their origin and formation have remained unclear — until now.
Regenerating nerves with an mRNA therapy
Stimulating neuron growth using a new mRNA therapy, researchers hope to treat chronic pain caused by disease, injury, or chemotherapy.
Nanoparticles that self-assemble inside cells to fight cancer
This nanoparticle cancer therapy hijacks biological processes to target cancer cells and destroy them with self-assembling components.
Reprogramming immune cells for living cancer therapy
A new way of reprogramming the body’s immune cells to seek out and eliminate cancer cells, acting as an internal cancer therapy.
Sensor translates sign language into audio
With the help of machine learning, a skin-like sensor internalizes different stimuli, allowing it to read and interpret hand movement.
Engineered peptides help boost natural defenses against influenza
Clumping proteins act as vaccine adjuvants, activating immune signalling pathways triggered by cell stress.
