Phage therapy to fight bacteria: New research from the University of Exeter has moved a step closer to harnessing viruses to fight bacterial infection, reducing the threat of antibiotic resistance. A growing number of infections, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, and salmonellosis, are developing antibiotic resistance, which means they becoming harder to treat, resulting in higher death […]

A new study published in npj Vaccines has shown that growing influenza viruses in specialised cell lines, rather than chicken eggs, improves the likelihood they will match circulating influenza viruses, potentially resulting in more effective seasonal flu vaccines. Influenza vaccines are used each year to combat seasonal and potential pandemic influenza viruses. As influenza viruses mutate and […]

An at-home nasal spray treatment for COVID-19 will be put to the test by Melbourne biomedical researchers, as the University of Melbourne and Monash University receive $4.2 million to establish a six-month clinical trial lead by Northern Hospital in collaboration with Oxford University. Heparin, a widely used blood-thinning drug to treat or prevent blood clots […]
