During bacterial infection, autophagy proteins appear to regulate the release of cell-saving exosomes, which bear the brunt of toxin damage.

The Salk Institute researcher was one of the first to show that killing a pathogen isn’t the only way to survive an infection.

Specialized exosomes sop up bacterial toxins, a study finds.

These webs of chromatin and proteins, released by immune cells to control microbial infections, could serve as a therapeutic target in coronavirus infections.

Paul Matewele, who died from COVID-19, was known for discovering dangerous microbes on surfaces people touch every day.

Researchers have rapidly identified ways to apply their expertise to help end the pandemic.

The antimicrobial compounds ants excrete to defend themselves from pathogens may protect plants as well.

Trained canines are remarkably accurate at detecting a pathogen that has devastated citrus crops.

While neutrophil extracellular traps help guard the body from infection, they also can contribute to a range of diseases.
