Scientists have utilised AI to predict T cell receptors, advancing personalised medicine, and boosting immunotherapy and vaccine development.
Common steroid treatments for the autoimmune disease lupus can cause as many problems as they solve, but researchers are close to finding a viable alternative.
The recent approval of a new schizophrenia drug opens the door for newer, safer, and more efficacious treatment options without the unwanted side-effects.
Gold nuggets grow much bigger than they should – and electricity produced by earthquakes may be the reason why.
Clinical trials of an mRNA vaccine have begun, and researchers expect broadly positive outcomes in the fight against the widespread illness.
Most of us have heard of epilepsy. Lesser known to the public is that seizures can lead to an uncommon but fatal complication known as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.
It’s a long-term treatment – people having allergen immunotherapy typically notice improved symptoms after six to 12 months.
Professor Jamie Rossjohn is internationally recognised for using structural biology to investigate how T cells can respond to viral infections or cause autoimmunity. Now, he's been named a fellow of the oldest science academy in the world.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
It’s too hot for bare feet, but that doesn’t mean you can cook a fry-up on the path outside your house. A frying pan is a much better tool for the job, because it conducts heat far more efficiently.
Jomo Kigotho knows from personal experience the devastating impacts of malaria. Now, the young scientist is part of a team that’s found a new weapon in the war against the disease-causing parasite.
We all know being surrounded by plant life is good for the mind and soul, but can it be good for the body, too?
Biotherapeutics in snake venom hold the answer to new medical treatments, and cheaper, more effective snake-bite remedies.
Dr Erica Tandori, a legally blind artist, is working with biomedical researchers to scale up microscopic life and place it, literally, into people’s hands.
Early analysis suggests Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine has an efficacy of more than 90%, but more data is still needed.
A behind-the-scenes look at the two vaccine candidates being developed by Monash University and the Doherty Institute.
How likely is it that we'll have a relatively quick fix for COVID-19, and what are the hurdles?
Thomas Ko is spearheading innovative technology that takes injectable medicines and transforms them into pills.
Research is looking at the role a high-fibre diet can play in reducing hypertension.
New research is investigating the ingredients that lead to thunderstorms to better predict when they might strike.
There is no life without enzymes. But how did the evolution of these complex molecules get going more than three billion years ago? We describe a new mechanism that may help to understand how order is created from disorder, and the starting points for protein evolution.
For the stem cell researchers at ARMI, one small 'superfish' holds the key to repairing the brain and spinal cord in humans.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global crisis that threatens to take us back to a pre-penicillin era.
San Thang fled Vietnam in 1979, encountering pirates on the way to Australia. Now, the chemistry innovator and his colleagues are being touted to win the Nobel Prize.
