In most vertebrates, the absence of adaptive immunity would be catastrophic, but in some deep-sea angler fish species, it enables their “wild” and “wacky” mating habits.

Scientists are examining the role of T cells, which are likely crucial for long-term protection against SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers try unprecedented data sharing and cooperation to understand COVID-19—and develop a model for diseases beyond the coronavirus pandemic.

Reports of the infection—including one death this month—recently shook up social media. But, unlike COVID-19, plague is a disease that countries have more or less got under control.

The intersection between water, air, and insects’ intricately decorated surfaces turn out to be the key to explain why droplets bounce so quickly off of them.

The presence of a particular set of RNAs in the blood forewarns of an onset of severe symptoms and points to the cells involved.

Transgender scientists are seeing some success in advocating for standards that allow authors to change their names on previous work.

Mice that experienced heart attacks underwent a large-scale shift in their immune systems that allowed cancer to flourish, perhaps explaining the observation in patients.
