AI model EVE-Vax provides clues about how a virus may evolve and the immune response it could provoke
Scientists have engineered a monoclonal antibody that can protect mice from a lethal dose of influenza A, a new study shows. The new molecule combines the specificity of a mature flu fighter with the broad binding capacity of a more general immune system defender.
A recent clinical trial led by WashU Medicine finds the anti-parasitic drug moxidectin – currently approved to treat river blindness, another tropical disease caused by parasitic worms – is also more effective for lymphatic filariasis than the current gold standard, ivermectin.

Urban rats spread a deadly bacteria as they migrate within cities that can be the source of a potentially life-threatening disease in humans, according to a six-year study by Tufts University researchers and their collaborators that also discovered a novel technique for testing rat kidneys.
The seasonal timing of when infants receive the new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) immunization is crucial for ensuring its effectiveness, according to Yale research published in ...
