Map will be an important resource for researchers and clinicians studying infectious diseases, the microbiome, vaccine responses, and tissue-specific immunity

Researchers are developing a first-of-its-kind 3D model that uses a single microfluidic sensing chip to study the complicated processes that take place in malaria-infected placenta as well as other placenta-related diseases and pathologies

Researchers hope that by precisely modulating how our immune system responds to infection, they can develop new therapies that can be used to treat people with these serious diseases

Findings could help inform policy decisions on how to use vaccines in outbreaks

Tobacco plant-produced vaccine could also be less costly, targeted for the developing world

New research announced at the 69th AACC Annual Scientific Meeting

The ZDC Multiplex RT-PCR Assay (Research Use Only) is a one-step reverse-transcription, real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection and quantification of ZIKV, DENV, and CHIKV RNAs

“This assay will be a pivotal tool for U.S. emergency preparedness and response and for ensuring the resiliency of U.S. animal agriculture, a critical infrastructure,” said DHS under secretary
