A research team from Trinity College Dublin has unveiled a new approach to vaccination that could redefine how we protect against respiratory infections. In a study published in Nature Microbiology, the team demonstrate that their nasally delivered, antibiotic-inactivated Bordetella pertussis (AIBP) vaccine not only prevents severe disease but also curbs bacterial transmission—an achievement long sought by vaccine developers worldwide.

A team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh has developed a skin patch that can detect antibodies associated with COVID and flu infections. It’s orders of magnitude more sensitive than existing tests, uses just a half volt of electricity, and can return results in 10 minutes.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between sugar metabolism and alcohol addiction, identifying a potential new therapeutic target for treating alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD).

When doctors detect elevated levels of SerpinB3 in a blood test, it can signal that something is seriously wrong, from hard-to-treat cancers to severe inflammatory conditions.

Researchers in Shanghai have reported in a study, recently published in Science Advances, that they’ve successfully decoded Mandarin Chinese language in real time with the help of a brain-computer interface (BCI) framework.

The saying goes that you should stay out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat, but new research suggests otherwise—for the sake of your blood pressure.

Using these nanoparticles to deliver a flu vaccine, researchers observed an effective immune response at a much lower dose.
