In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server, which is under consideration at Scientific Reports, a team of researchers developed a novel human Alveolar Epithelial Lentivirus ...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant threat to patient care and safety, affecting over 7% of patients globally and resulting in 37,000 deaths annually in Europe and 99,000 in the ...

In this Review, we detail the recent findings that advance our understanding of microbial micron-scale biogeography, both in human specimens and in preclinical models. Additionally, much of the recent ...

An artificial-intelligence model was shown to be significantly more accurate than doctors at diagnosing pediatric ear infections in the first head-to-head evaluation of its kind. The tool, called ...

Researchers have successfully engineered human immune cells to model an infection common among immunocompromised people in a breakthrough discovery, paving the way for new drug testing and treatments.

A human nose organoid (HNO) has been developed to study how the first events of a viral infection take place and the complex interactions between the host and virus. The versatile model is a ...

P. aeruginosa was embedded into agar beads and delivered to the lungs of aged mice. Following infection, mice were monitored daily for clinical symptoms and survival. At predetermined time points, ...

A recent collaborative study has developed a microphysiological system to study the effects of COVID-19. The model consists of bronchial organoids and vascular beds and reveals the interactions ...

Lower respiratory tract infections are diagnostically challenging, particularly since clinical symptoms often overlap with noninfectious causes of acute respiratory failure. A diagnostic model ...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) not only impact an individual's health but also result in multibillion-dollar economic losses worldwide. To study these diseases, a team of researchers has ...

Hair follicle infections are often difficult to treat because bacteria settle in the gap between hair and skin, where it is difficult for active substances to reach them. In order to investigate this ...

An electronic, specialist-led, proactive diabetes intervention model reduced blood glucose levels and nosocomial infection incidence among surgical inpatients. Early diabetes management with an ...
