Cleaning Infected Blood
Infectious disease experts
designed a machine called
the hemopurifier. It works
much like a dialysis
machine, using thin fibers
to capture and remove
viruses from the blood it

Beating Bone Marrow Cancer
To lessen the impact of
chemotherapy on bone marrow
cancer patients,
hematologists are recruiting
the patients' own immune
systems to help. White blood
cells are extracted before a

Faster Flu Test
New flu tests can diagnose
the flu in as little as 30
minutes, to cut down on
needless antibiotic use,
which can build up
resistance and make some
infections untreatable by
current methods. ... > full story
Detecting Disease In Less Than 60 Seconds
Chemists and immunologists
devised a new rapid system
for detecting and
identifying viruses. It uses
surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy to measure the
frequency of near-infrared

Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique
Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives ... > more -
With New Antibiotics, Pediatricians Fight Proxy War on Bugs
Strep throat has become harder to fight using penicillin or amoxicillin, but that's not because the Streptococci have developed a resistance to those drugs. Instead, more than 50 percent of children ... > more -
Plant Biologists And Immunochemists Develop Hypoallergenic Alternative To Latex
Plant biologists and immunochemists developed a way to produce rubber from a desert plant called guayule. The plant contains a natural rubber alternative without the proteins that trigger allergic ... > more -
Biophysicists Grow Pretty Bacteria In Petri Dishes To Find Antibiotics
Biophysicists are growing Petri dishes of different species of bacteria in order to develop new antibiotics. The bacteria are subjected to different temperatures and have limited food sources inside ... > more -
Veterinarians And Microbiologists Develop Antimicrobial Agent That Works Under Water
Veterinarians added a bioadhesive to an existing antimicrobial agent in order to make it an effective protective agent for aquatic animals such as whales. The adhesive was originally developed to ... > more -

Pathologists Invent Easy Way To Diagnose MRSA
Infectious disease specialists have developed a way to quickly diagnose the very dangerous, antibiotic-resistant infection called MRSA. By dropping a cartridge in a device the technology makes ... > more -
Microbiologists Discover Reason Why The Flu Virus Thrives In Winter
Virologists investigating transmission of the flu virus found that it is more likely to spread at colder temperatures. The dry, cold conditions pull moisture out of droplets released by coughs and ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -
Pediatricians Reduce Ear Infections By Vaccinating Children
Infectious disease experts have completed clinical trials on a vaccine designed to eliminate chronic ear infections. The vaccine works on 7 pneumococcal bacterial strains that cause ear infections. ... > more -
Biochemists Create Microbicidal Coating to Fight Hospital Infections
New bandages with microbicidal coating kill the most harmful bacteria on contact. The coating is washable and can also be used on hospital gowns and bed sheets, which will help reduce the risk of ... > more
