With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

Vaccination has beaten back infections for more than a century. Now, it may be the next big step in battling cancer.

Scientists around the world investigate how bat immune systems cope with viral attacks and how this information could be used to keep humans safe.

The findings could help researchers understand why some individuals are more vulnerable to deadly Chagas disease.

We have barely scratched the surface of itch science and what it indicates about our health.

The results could help guide the design of new vaccines for the disease.

A combinatorial approach enabled high-throughput screening of protein libraries for desired target binding.

Researchers are devising ways to prevent viral vectors carrying gene therapies from triggering an immune response.

Deciphering Immunology's Dirty Secret Can innate immune adjuvants save vaccinology? By Kate Travis ARTICLE EXTRAS 1 Why, he wondered, did scientists have to include bits of bacteria or aluminum hydroxide with a vaccine to get an immune response? Janeway hypothesized and later proved that so-called pattern recognition receptors identify invading pathogens and trigger an immediate reaction against the i
