Green roofs have become increasingly popular thanks to their benefits related to climate adaptation and urban biodiversity. Fungal-rich soil nurtures these green roofs.

Having a high dietary intake of fish and vegetables at 1 year of age, and a low intake of sugar beverages, seems to protect against inflammatory bowel disease.

Researchers have successfully coaxed a deadly pathogen to destroy itself from the inside out. In the new study, researchers modified DNA from a bacteriophage or “phage,” a type of virus that infects and replicates inside of bacteria.

Reversible switch permits infection-fighting blood cells to change course to become long-lived memory cells instead of short-lived killer cells.

Scientists developed a green antibiotic alternative to treat the deadly pathogen Streptococcus iniae in hybrid striped bass, the fourth most farmed finfish in the United States, according to a recent study.

A silicon surface with a series of tiny spikes that damage and kill viruses upon contact has been shown to be 96% effective.

The composition of the gut microbiome can influence how susceptible mice are to respiratory virus infections and how severe infection is.

Researchers found that, before the immune system evolutionarily co-opted it, a protein originally belonged to a gene family responsible for directing cells to move to the right location at the right time to address specific functional needs.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health observed rapid and distinct immune system changes in a small study of people who switched to a vegan or a ketogenic (also called keto) diet.

Using a DNA-based scaffold carrying viral proteins, researchers created a vaccine that provokes a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2.
