NUS Medicine study: Breaking antibiotic-resistant bacteria’s protective shields opens door for immune system response, offers insights for managing pneumococcal diseases

National University of Singapore, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious public health threat. Understanding the biology of these bacteria—such as how they synthesise their protective capsules—is essential for developing new strategies to counter antibiotic resistance.

New study sheds light on how bacteria ‘vaccinate’ themselves with genetic material from dormant viruses

Johns Hopkins Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage invaders — by seizing genetic material from weakened, dormant phages and using it to “vaccinate” themselves to elicit an immune response.

Study: new guidelines expanded access to lung cancer screening, but gaps remain in reaching rural and uninsured populations

University of Miami Miller School of Medicine
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Since 2021, when lung cancer screening guidelines began to include younger people and those with a lower smoking history, the number of screenings climbed, but significant gaps remain, especially among people with limited access to healthcare, according to a new study led by researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
