Researchers analyzed mosquito blood meals from a preserve and identified DNA from 86 vertebrate species. The results captured nearly all local biodiversity, from frogs to deer, showing mosquitoes could offer a fast, low-cost way to monitor wildlife.

Engineering dendritic cells to better identify cancer cells and trigger precise immune responses may boost immunotherapy.

A preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine shows that beneficial gut microbes help prevent pregnancy loss by promoting immune tolerance to the fetus.

Common genetic variants can prevent antibody therapies from binding their targets, reducing treatment effectiveness. The study shows how small amino acid changes can block drug binding.

UCLA researchers found that gut bacteria are rapidly evolving in response to modern diets. Genes enabling digestion of industrial starches have spread quickly through microbial genomes via horizontal gene transfer.

Researchers developed an AI antibody model that accurately predicts heavy and light chain pairing, challenging long-held assumptions and advancing therapeutic design.

Researchers have discovered that a bacterium isolated from the intestines of Japanese tree frogs possesses potent anticancer activity.

New open-access database highlights health-promoting microbes and natural compounds that support wellbeing beyond disease prevention.

A study finds that a single gut bacterium can lower blood sugar, reduce fat accumulation and limit weight gain in mice. The microbe produces fatty molecules that counter harmful metabolic effects of high-fat diets.

UMBC scientists uncovered how enteroviruses initiate replication by assembling a conserved RNA–protein complex inside host cells. The team showed how viral and host proteins bind an RNA cloverleaf to control replication.
