The FDA has approved 28 of the more than 1,000 such diagnostics commercially available worldwide.
The antibody closely mimics the binding site that the SARS-CoV-2 virus uses to infect cells, and seemingly thwarts invasion via mutation.
An artificial-intelligence system was designed to use EKG readings to track the stress of mothers and their fetuses in a recent study.
A study cohort that received an oral supplement of a gut-produced compound had better endurance in two small exercises.
A recent paper published by researchers from Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics (CEH) and collaborators on a strategic model of a host-microbe-microbe system not only reveals the importance of a joint host-microbe immune response to combat stress-induced gut dysbiosis but also reveals a remarkable interdisciplinary collaboration between two different EU projects coordinated by CEH.
People vaccinated three times or vaccinated after an earlier COVID-19 infection had comparable neutralizing antibody activity to those with a breakthrough case.
Findings explain how mutations allow the omicron variant to evade antibodies against previous variants yet remain so infectious.
The distribution of old and young species brings new insight into the speciation-extinction dynamics operating in global hotspots of biodiversity.
For fully vaccinated adults, a booster of any of the FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccines was found to enhance immunity.
In this week’s Nature, the Dog Aging Project team outlines how the open-source data it's gathering could be useful for a myriad of studies.
Researchers have developed a new clotting test that uses only a single drop of blood and a smartphone vibration motor and camera.
MIT senior Sherry Nyeo, a student since Fall 2019, has conducted groundbreaking work in multiple labs, served as a mentor to dozens of students, and made a lasting mark on the larger MIT community
Variants in the ATM, CHEK2 and PALB2 genes are collectively as prevalent as the much-reported BRCA1/2 gene mutations.
Deoxygenation can make large areas of the ocean uninhabitable. But new study offers new knowledge of how oxygen levels affect marine life – this may help us preserve marine ecosystems. “In the past 50 years, we have already lost an area the size of the EU due to deoxygenation,” researcher behind the study says.
New study published in Science with CMEC co-authorship resolves a 100 year old challenge for predicting global genetic diversity loss.
A UW Medicine-based study shows most Merkel cell carcinoma recurrences happen in the first three years after treatment.
Study findings highlight the need for better mental health and social services to help ex-prisoners transition back into community, researchers say.
Cryoelectron microscopy studies of Nipah and Hendra viruses may lead to ideas for vaccine design and antibody treatments.
Two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time - opening a ‘game-changing’ new chapter in the history of evolution. Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA were found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland. Using cutting-edge technology, researchers discovered the fragments are one million years older than the previous record for DNA sampled from a Siberian mammoth bone.
Study findings underscore imperative of expanding test access and lowering costs.
