Scientists at the University of Salzburg and Pantec Biosolutions AG have developed a laser-facilitated epicutaneous immunization against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein. The model has induced angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) blocking antibodies in mice.

Researchers report that individual immune response to SARS-CoV-2 may be limited by a set of variable genes that code for cell surface proteins essential for the adaptive immune system. The finding may help explain why COVID-19 immunity varies by individual.

Severe forms of malaria such as Plasmodium falciparum may be deadly even after treatment with current parasite-killing drugs.

Researchers from the University of Granada warn that an accumulation of fatty tissue in the neck (both the double chin and the deeper deposits, located between muscles and around the cervical vertebrae) is a predictor of central and overall adiposity, cardiometabolic risk, and a pro-inflammatory profile in sedentary young adults.

Basic biology finding on thyroid hormone function could lead to new treatments for obesity, diabetes and related disorders

Biomarkers play a central role in the identification of disease and evaluation of its course. Among the markers now in use are genes, hormones, proteins, lipids and other types of molecules. Biomarkers can be found in the bloodstream, in cerebrospinal fluid, urine and various types of tissues, but many of them have one thing in common: They occur in extremely low concentrations, and are therefore technically hard…

Researchers have designed a tiny spacecraft that levitates using light and can fly where no spacecraft has before.

An antioxidant found in green tea may increase levels of p53, a natural anti-cancer protein, known as the "guardian of the genome" for its ability to repair DNA damage or destroy cancerous cells. Published today in Nature Communications, a study of the direct interaction between p53 and the green tea compound, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), points to a new target for cancer drug discovery.

For the first time ever, scientists have spotted hydrogen chloride on Mars. The source of this colourless gas remains unclear, but going theories include volcanic activity or a previously undetected chemical cycle tied to the Red Planet's epic dust storms. New research published today in Science Advances is the first...
