A new Northwestern study shows piperacillin, an antibiotic, effectively cured mice of Lyme disease at a dose 100 times smaller than the effective dose of doxycycline, the current gold-standard treatment.
A new Northwestern study may explain why the body may continue to respond to an invisible threat long after bacterial death in Lyme disease.
Scientists led by Karla Satchell, PhD, have discovered previously unknown molecular mechanisms that help a type of foodborne bacteria called Vibrio vulnificus recognize host cells and initiate infection, according to a recent study published in Science Advances.
A natural compound derived from gut-friendly bacteria can significantly slow the progression of vitiligo and may restore pigmentation, according to a new study.
Investigators led by Pablo Penaloza-MacMaster, PhD, associate professor of Microbiology-Immunology, have discovered that administering an antibody treatment four days after mRNA vaccination significantly improved vaccine efficacy in mice, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Investigators have discovered that targeting specific mechanisms linked to lipid metabolism in immune cells within tumors may improve response to current and future cancer immunotherapies, according to a recent study published in the journal Immunity.
