Lockdowns affected gut microbiome, allergies in newborns
Lockdowns imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic had a surprisingly beneficial impact on the gut microbiome development of babies born during these periods.
Zika virus vaccine used to battle brain cancer
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have found a way to use the Zika virus to destroy brain cancer cells and inhibit tumour growth, while sparing healthy cells.
Li-Fraumeni syndrome linked to more cancers than we thought
Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a rare but devastating condition that puts people at extremely high risk of developing multiple cancers during their lifetime.
Researchers find the mutation that makes E. coli so dangerous
The mutation effectively gives affected bacteria the green light to spread further into the body and infect more organs.
