Acute graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells attack the recipient's tissues after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Researchers recently identified a ...

A new study led by a research team from Massachusetts Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School describes how bacteria adapted to the modern hospital environment and repeatedly cause antibiotic-resistant ...

Allogeneic hematopoietic-cell transplantation is a mainstay of treatment for hematologic cancers, and the gut microbiota — the collection of archaea, bacteria, fungi, protists, and viruses that reside ...

In a new study, researchers have uncovered how cytolysins from Enterococcus faecalis destroys bacterial and mammalian cells. Although Enterococcus faecalis is usually an innocuous member of the ...

This type of infection cannot be eliminated by host defense mechanisms, and needs to be treated by chemical–mechanical procedures. 6 Irrigation by chemical solutions should be aimed to eliminate both ...

New research led by the University of Sheffield has discovered how a hospital superbug evades the immune system to cause infection - paving the way for new treatments. The study, led by the University ...

An international team of scientists, led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new method that could speed up the healing of chronic wounds infected by ...

Bacteria in the gut can unexpectedly manufacture viruses to kill off rivals during intestinal shootouts of sorts, researchers have found. These findings could help lead to new ways to kill off ...

Identification of bacteriophage-derived enzyme and its antibacterial activity can contribute to novel therapies that target biofilm-forming bacteria and help in the treatment against acute ...
