Scientists have developed a CRISPR-based diagnostic that detects pathogens in blood with million-fold greater sensitivity—without the need for DNA amplification.
Results for "pathogens"
How sunflower pollen protects bees from pathogens
Planting sunflowers in pollinator habitats can boost bee health by providing them with pollen that protects against intestinal pathogens.
Plant immunity to fungal pathogens developed millions of years ago
As plants evolved to live on land, so too did their immune systems, offering protection against dangerous fungi.
Reusable face masks that kill pathogens
Researchers develop a reusable filter paper made from titanium dioxide nanowires that is capable of trapping and killing pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Bacteria engineered to protect bees from pests and pathogens
Using bacteria to combat varroa mites, a common pest that can weaken honey bees and make them more susceptible to pathogens.
Autonomous microtrap for pathogens
Self-propelled-onion-like microvehicle can attract, trap, and destroy biological threats
Cyclic-di-GMP Regulation of Virulence in Bacterial Pathogens
Cyclic-di-GMP regulation of bacterial virulence is specific to each pathogen, strain, and type of infection. Differences in the composition and structure of extracellular matrix components could underlie the variation in immune response in the mammalian host.
Particulate Delivery Systems for Vaccination against Bioterrorism Agents and Emerging Infectious Pathogens
Nano- and micro-particulate vaccine delivery systems minimize side effects, trigger targeted and robust immune responses, and protect and stabilize vaccine components
Two-in-one nanomedicine delivers antiviral treatment and immediate vaccine-like protection
The quasi-vaccine could help healthcare workers weather a virus outbreak in the future.
New cancer vaccine uses SARS-CoV-2 marker to harness immunity against tumors
SARS-CoV-2 marker used to trigger the immune system against cancer, showing promise in shrinking tumors and improving survival in mice.
