Ebola virus, one of the deadliest pathogens, has a fatality rate of about 50%, posing a serious threat to global health and safety. To address this challenge, researchers at the University of Minnesota and the Midwest Antiviral Drug Discovery (AViDD) Center have developed the first nanobody-based inhibitors targeting the Ebola virus.

Stanford Medicine researchers are using artificial intelligence to help identify the underlying biology behind Type 2 diabetes.

An analysis led by New York University researchers determines which public policies effectively prevent suicide deaths in the United States. But it’s not just policies that limit firearms and expand access to health care—many economic and social policies that are not explicitly focused on mental health can also prevent suicide, according to their article published in the Annual Review of Public Health.

The United States adopted breast cancer screening for women in their Forties due to an increase in the incidence of breast cancer in younger women, with recent research from the University of Ottawa confirming this rise.
