One problem with the rotavirus vaccine—a preparation typically given by mouth to babies—is that it doesn’t work as well in low-income countries, where the majority
Designer bugs as drugs The endemic persistence and outbreaks of Vibrio cholerae indicate a need for new methods of control; in this issue, two groups
The tenacity of the malaria parasite has all too often made it intractable to long-term therapeutic intervention. The development of parasite drug resistance is almost
The recent rise of pertussis in developed countries has generated controversy as to its cause. Domenech de Cellès et al. modeled pertussis transmission by using
Ovarian cancer is a particularly hard-to-treat disease. It’s often diagnosed late, and even after surgery and chemotherapy, around 85 percent of patients relapse and develop
The immune system is known for its ability to remember its response to pathogens, leading to more efficient clearance of the same pathogen upon reinfection.
With their pluripotency and ability to self-renew, some cancer cells have been likened to stem cells. Now, researchers show that the similarities between the cells
The Ebola virus glycoprotein spike (white) bound by antibody fragments of the broadly neutralizing antibodies ADI-15878 (purple), ADI-15946 (blue), and ADI-16061 (green). Footprints of these
Polio is nearly eradicated. Now much of the risk of polio outbreaks comes not from wild poliovirus but from the oral vaccine, which comprises attenuated
