Rice farmers and quarantine inspectors may soon have a powerful new weapon against one of the world’s most destructive rice diseases. A research team in China has developed two rapid diagnostic p ...

Lund University. For most of his career as a researcher, Lars Björck has sought to understand how bacteria manage to evade ...

A bacterial protein fragment called corisin drives pulmonary fibrosis by infiltrating and disrupting cells' quality-control systems, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Mie ...

A study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has found that certain antibodies inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of tuberculosis (TB), the infectious disease that claims the ...

A monoclonal antibody created by the Nanobiotechnology for Diagnostics group (Nb4D) at the Institute of Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC), part of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), ...

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling tenaciously to the surfaces of targeted human cells.

A study has found that the immune antibody IgA, which helps protect the intestinal mucosa against bacteria and viruses, can ...
