The new transport system for DNA vaccines could help treat HIV, malaria, HPV and other major illnesses.

Patients who receive more cells get significant benefits. That’s a key lesson emerging from a clinical trial that was reported Nov. 17 at the American Heart Association meeting in Chicago.

The widespread overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to antibiotic-resistant infections—and rising fatalities. Now, the federal government has turned to Rutgers to help develop a new generation of antibiotics.

What do pacemakers, prosthetic limbs, Iron Man and flu vaccines all have in common?

New research from the University of Copenhagen and Copenhagen University Hospital shows that low blood vitamin D levels increase mortality. The study included 96,000 Danes and was recently published in the distinguished British Medical Journal.

A novel looping mechanism that involves the end caps of DNA may help explain the aging of cells and how they initiate and transmit disease, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center cell biologists.

Students and professors develop a novel way to help those with visual impairment

New technology can detect bacterial invaders with unprecedented speed, sensitivity.

New research conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has shown that the common blood pressure drug verapamil completely reverses diabetes in animal models. Now, thanks to a three-year, $2.1 million grant from the JDRF, UAB researchers will begin conducting a potentially groundbreaking clinical trial in 2015 to see if it can do the same in humans.

A novel jelly-like substance developed by Kansas State University researchers was recently issued a U.S. patent. The substance may be used for biomedical applications, ranging from cell culture and drug delivery to repairing and replacing tissue, organs and cartilage.

As children, it was fascinating to put a flashlight up to our palms to see the light shine through the hand. Washington University in St. Louis engineers are using a similar idea to track movement inside the body’s tissues to improve imaging of cancerous tissues and to develop potential treatments.

Berkeley Lab researchers assess health impacts of inhalable constituents of thirdhand tobacco smoke.
