High-throughput genetic screening approach to study antibiotic proteins made by bacteriophages

As conventional antibiotics continue to lose effectiveness against evolving pathogens, scientists are keen to employ the bacteria-killing techniques perfected by bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria.

New influenza virus strain concocted in animals could be the cause of next human pandemic

The next pandemic that cascades through the human population could be caused by a new influenza virus strain concocted in animals, against which humans will have little to no immunity.

Components of the gut microbiome could be used to better predict efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy

Even though, according to recent preliminary studies, the risk of dying from cancer has declined within the European Union in recent years, cancers remain among the leading causes of death.

Research reveals the mechanism that triggers breast cancer 'time bomb'

Scientists have discovered why breast cancer cells that have spread to the lungs may 'wake up' following years of sleep - forming incurable secondary tumors.

Insulin deficiency leads to reduced pancreas size in type 1 diabetes

Individuals with Type 1 diabetes have a smaller pancreas than people without diabetes. This is surprising because insulin-producing beta cells account for just a small fraction of the pancreas, so the loss of beta cells in Type 1 diabetes would not be expected to reduce pancreas size.
