The tension-activated repair patch used in animal trials plugs holes in discs in the spine like car tire patches and could prevent further disease progression.

Macrophages, a type of white blood cell that can destroy invading pathogens, have an innate ability to infiltrate tumor cells, making them a potentially important tool in treatments that use transplanted cells to fight disease, known as cell therapy.

Researchers have found that the deadly deformed wing virus (DMV) may have evolved to be less deadly in at least one U.S. forest. The findings could help inform solutions to mitigate the virus in managed honey bee colonies.

We’ve known for more than a century that women outlive men. But new research shows that, at least in the United States, the gap has been widening for more than a decade.

An international team has for the first time researched the longevity of neutralizing antibodies in HIV-1-infected people. The findings improve understanding of the dynamics of such antibodies and are an important building block for further research.

Researchers at the Buck Institute have identified a new drug-like molecule that keeps mitochondria healthy via mitophagy, a process that removes and recycles damaged mitochondria in multicellular organisms.

Researchers at Tulane have developed a new and rapid test that can detect both HIV and tuberculosis at the same time with just a small amount of blood.

Cancer stem cells cause the aging of macrophages in mice with healthy immune systems, creating conditions for the formation of tumors.

For years, researchers and clinicians have known that lupus, an autoimmune condition, occurs in women at a rate nine times higher than in men. Researchers have now uncovered answers about the disease’s frequency in females.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison made an unexpected discovery while studying a strain of yeast closely related to the kind used to ferment beer.
