Researchers have developed a new method for detecting foodborne pathogens that is faster, cheaper, and more effective than existing methods. Their microfluidic chip uses light to detect multiple types ...

This article was originally featured on Undark. It all started when Christopher Mason’s 3-year-old daughter licked a subway pole. Like any parent, he was horrified, but also keenly curious: What types ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

A scientific review details how the myeloid receptor Trem2 coordinates cellular signaling, phagocytosis, and tissue defense ...

The gastrointestinal (GI) pathogen norovirus was the leading cause of infectious-disease outbreaks on cruise ships over the ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical cues from bacterial pathogens and communicate this information to neighbors ...

Scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and elsewhere have described a method of detecting blood-borne pathogens faster and more accurately than traditional blood cultures. The ...

AI is a rapidly expanding and vibrant area of technological development with applications in a vast array of disciplines. From drug discovery to language processing to general pattern recognition, ...

A laboratory study found that glucose enhances growth, adhesion and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas plecoglossicida while transcriptionally repressing the T6SS effector ppTse6, a known virulence ...
