Mystery infections—persistent and unexplained illnesses—are a rising global health challenge, often delaying critical treatment as patients and clinicians search for answers. Today, advanced genetic ...

A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected microbial relationship that could help explain differences in the severity of a major ...

There’s an entire world of microbiomes living just under our noses. Although we can’t see them, bacteria, viruses, and other ...

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 ...

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we hear from a listener who has Marfan syndrome and dive into the complexities of the disease. Then we talk about pathogens that eat — or infiltrate! — plant ...

Most people who have heard of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (more commonly known as CRISPR) associate it with gene editing—the precise molecular scissors that allow ...

Scientists at McMaster University have uncovered new evidence that the fungus causing white-nose syndrome, a deadly disease ...
