MD Anderson and Rice announced the creation of the Cancer Bioengineering Collaborative to develop innovative technologies and bioengineering approaches to improve cancer research, diagnosis and treatment.
Researchers discover that a cytokine called interleukin-12 (IL-12) acts like a switch to direct which antibody response B cells will generate.
Low vaccination rates continue to create significant threats to public health for diseases such as whooping cough (pertussis), measles and COVID-19. Michigan's vaccination rates for recommended childhood immunizations have dropped to levels not seen in Michigan in more than a decade.
Recent research reveals the potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in combating African Swine Fever (ASF), a viral disease with near 100% mortality rate in pigs. The study explores TCM's antiviral properties and its role in enhancing immunity, offering a novel strategy in the face of limited effective treatments.
Initiative aims to raise awareness of a cancer-causing virus
Flu vaccination mandates for hospital staff have increased in recent years, especially at hospitals serving veterans, the latest in a series of surveys shows.
If you’re planning an international trip with your child, you may be wondering what vaccines they need and when they should get them. Before you head out of the country, it’s essential to make sure your child is up to date on all of their routine immunizations, including vaccines for COVID-19, flu and RSV.
Mpox continues to circulate in the U.S. among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men. Though the number fell sharply to only 3 cases during the June through December 2023 multisite surveillance period compared to the previous highs, concern for its reemergence continues due to, among other things, incomplete knowledge among other groups.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center have isolated human monoclonal antibodies against influenza B, a significant public health threat that disproportionately affects children, the elderly and other immunocompromised individuals.
A team of scientists has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based transmission model that can predict prison infection rates with high accuracy. Incorporating real-world data from every facility in the NSW prison system, the new findings add weight to current theoretical models.
A recent review explores the innovative use of self-assembled protein nanoparticles (SAPNs) and virus-like particles (VLPs) in veterinary vaccine development. The research highlights the superior safety and efficacy of these nanovaccines over traditional formulations, offering a promising future for animal health and disease prevention.
An experimental mRNA vaccine against avian influenza virus H5N1 is highly effective in preventing severe illness and death in preclinical models. The vaccine could potentially help manage the outbreak of the H5N1 virus currently circulating in birds and cattle in the United States, and prevent human infections with the virus.
A program for clinic systems created by researchers at UTHealth Houston called the Adolescent Vaccination Program (AVP) has proven to be effective at increasing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates among adolescents according to a new study published in Vaccines.
University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers at the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health (CVD) have been awarded $3.96 million to develop a maternal vaccine that prevents sepsis caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae in newborns and infants.
