Jul 18, 2017 · Researchers are targeting a key protein involved in this process, in an attempt to stop the parasite. They found that interfering with this protein slows the escape of the parasite from red blood cells, reducing the rate of infection and making it easier for the body to shut it down. The research findings were published July 6 in PLOS Pathogens.
Apr 21, 2017 · On October 17, 1943, a story in the New York Herald Tribune read "Many laymen — husbands, wives, parents, brothers, sisters, friends — beg Dr. Keefer for penicillin," according to the American Chemical Society.
Jan 13, 2017 · By genetically-modifying these same parasites, researchers in Seattle recently created a vaccine that appears to be safe and effective in generating an immune response to malaria in a small study of human volunteers. The work is part of a global effort to eliminate the suffering caused by malaria through improved testing, treatment, vector ...
Feb 16, 2017 · A new study just out reveals that HIV takes hold in the human body with the help of cells that usually work to heal, not kill.

Mar 22, 2017 · Tremendous strides have been made in the treatment and outlook for patients infected with HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus. Treatment with a combination of antiretroviral drugs can keep patients with HIV alive for decades, without symptoms of the infection. The trouble is, if HIV-infected people stop taking their medications, the virus takes over in full force again—because the virus hides out quietly in cells of the immune system, kept in check, but not killed by the treatment.
Jul 5, 2017 · The presence of molecular hydrogen shows there is the chemical potential there to support metabolic systems like methanogenic microbes. This suggests we've found a potential food source that would support the habitability of Enceladus's interior ocean. From Earth, across the solar system to Europa, and Enceladus, ocean worlds may be the ...
Aug 29, 2017 · The bacteria in our gut — a community called the gut microbiome — have been in the spotlight a lot lately. What we're learning about how our intestinal bacteria adapt and grow with our bodies could help athletes perform better, according to researchers starting a company focused on creating probiotics that mimic athletes' microbiomes.
May 11, 2017 · The body's usual response to a bacterial infection in the blood — called sepsis — takes time. It requires a carefully orchestrated sequence of events that gets the body's immune system ramped up to deal with the invading bacteria.
Jun 29, 2017 · To meet the common challenge of water contaminated with E.coli, the study team created what they call "Janus microbots," to collect and kill E. coli while they swim through contaminated water. "Janus" is a deity from Roman mythology. Associated with time, beginnings and endings, and before and after, Janus is always depicted with two faces.
