Vaccines protect most people from serious illness, but the strength of that protection can vary considerably from one person to another. Some people produce a robust immune response, while others respond only weakly.A new study led by Arizona State University helps us understand why.
Cann's Principles of Molecular Virology, - 7th Edition, revised by EP Rybicki. Print Book. ISBN 9780128227848. Now published!!
"Cann's Principles of Molecular Virology, Seventh Edition provides an easily accessible introduction to modern virology, presenting principles in a clear and concise manner. The new edition provides the history of virology and the fundamentals of the molecular basis of how viruses work.
Researchers found H5N1 bird flu can spread from pregnant mice to fetuses through the placenta and to newborns through milk, causing developmental delays, smaller size, and behavioral problems, highlighting pregnancy-related risks in mammals.
Preterm infants may face a heightened risk of viral infection during the first year of life, when the immune system is still developing and the protective barriers of the lungs and intestine remain immature.
Delhi and NCR witness a significant rise in H1N1 (swine flu) and dengue cases due to humid monsoon weather. Experts urge preventive measures and timely medical consultation.
Game-changing HIV drug Lenacapavir will soon be saving lives across the country, writes Molly Thompson, yet marginalised communities in the global south who made this possible still don’t have access...
A new study by the Department of Anatomy and Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, published in Scientific Reports, offers an explanation for one of the striking differences between men and women: the evolutionary development of the modern human pelvis.
Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for about a quarter of all AIDS deaths. In 2024, it was also the leading cause of death among people with HIV. This is despite TB being a preventable and curable disease.
SARS-CoV-2 possesses a characteristic surface protein, the spike protein, which plays a central role in viral entry into host cells. The evolution of spike protein mutations has been an important factor in the emergence of viral variants with altered transmissibility and immune-evasion properties. Previous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 evolution is strongly biased toward certain types of nucleotide substitutions, with C-to-G substitutions occurring only rarely.
Although influenza and COVID-19 vaccination are offered free of charge to people at increased risk of severe illness, many still choose not to get vaccinated. A new study from Umeå University shows that the main barriers are not financial or related to distance from vaccination services. Instead, those most likely to forgo vaccination were younger individuals, men, smokers, and people with reduced independence.
The potential arrival of once-weekly oral ART options could be particularly important for those who face challenges of stigma or adherence difficulties, advocate says.
It's common to see images of astronauts on the International Space Station exercising, running on special treadmills and pedaling cycles designed for tight quarters.
Vaccines protect most people from serious illness, but the strength of that protection can vary considerably from one person to another. Some people produce a robust immune response, while others respond only weakly.A new study led by Arizona State University helps us understand why.
Inside every cell, thousands of proteins must reach the right place at the right time. Helping coordinate this complex logistics network are centriolar satellites—tiny, membraneless organelles that play important roles in protein trafficking, cell division and the formation of cilia.
Most people who inhale the environmental fungus Cryptococcus neoformans never develop symptoms. The organism can settle in the lungs and remain there for years, restrained by the immune system without producing obvious illness.
A review and opinion piece published in The Lancet and led by UCL (University College London) and UCLH researchers discusses the possibility that blood transfusions may inadvertently transmit harmful brain proteins, and whether additional safety measures are warranted as a precaution whilst...

Red blood cells serve as the foundation for nanocarriers that show promise in a new study as effective and efficient vehicles for gene therapy, tumor targeting and other medical treatments. Scientists at The Ohio State University have showed that the engineered extracellular vesicles could evade immune cells and target cancer cells, two capabilities that could improve the delivery of future therapies. The study is published in Advanced Healthcare Materials.
The future has arrived carrying a saliva sample and a transistor. Researchers have developed a sensor designed to distinguish respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A, and influenza B in about 15 minutes, using unprocessed saliva.
