Children who have been in contact with dogs in early childhood are, on average, healthier and require fewer courses of antibiotics than children without such contact. The protective association is explained, at least in part, by the spread of dog-associated microbes in the home.

Andes virus, the type of hantavirus responsible for the outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship earlier this year, has a fatality rate of up to 36%. Precautions such as isolation of infected individuals and use of personal protective equipment by health care personnel can prevent

A new HIV vaccine developed by La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI), Scripps Research scientists and IAVI has the potential to protect humans from developing HIV infection and AIDS. This HIV vaccine is the first to generate a high number of "broadly neutralizing" virus-fightin

A molecule linked to chronic inflammation disrupts the brain's ability to create new neurons, uncovering a pathway with therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases and neurological conditions. The King's College London study, published in Nature Communications, offers in

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a promising nonhormonal therapy for women experiencing Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). GSM is a common chronic condition caused by declining estrogen levels that affects the vulva, vagina and urinary tra

Widely recognized as the face of food poisoning, salmonella bacteria lurk in raw meat and poultry, on pets, and in unpasteurized dairy products. If untreated, extreme cases can lead to full-body infections, like typhoid fever. UIC researcher Kiwook Kim wondered why some salmonell

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have discovered that a fungus deadly to people with weakened immune systems can disable a critical defense used by neutrophils, the body's front-line, infection-fighting white blood cells.

Chronic and viral infections can literally exhaust certain key cells in the immune system from a constant barrage of attacks. But a new pair of papers by scientists at the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) points to a way to understand how this exhaust

A 0.5% alcohol-based chlorhexidine antiseptic, combined with the natural organic compounds eugenol and menthol, can eliminate 99.9% of Candida parapsilosis cells. This fungus is one of the leading causes of infections in hospital settings, such as intensive care units (ICUs).

GLP-1 agonists have become popular treatments for weight loss and type 2 diabetes, and newer studies suggest other health benefits as well. Findings from experiments on mice, published in the Journal of Virology, suggest that the drugs may offer benefits to another patient popula

New research has uncovered a hidden pathway that allows COVID-19 to infect the immune system and trigger damaging inflammation in the lungs. The study by La Trobe University and WEHI researchers found SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can hide inside tiny fragments of d

Variants of sexually transmitted Shigella—a bacterial infection that causes bloody or prolonged diarrhea and can lead to severe dehydration—are causing more disease and becoming increasingly antibiotic-resistant among sections of the U.K.'s LGBTQ+ community, a new Cambridge study
