From forming protective physical barriers to stabilizing mRNA vaccines, polymers provide endless solutions to the threat of coronaviruses and other current and impending diseases.

Scientists develop a technique for performing advanced infrared microscopy using off-the-shelf cameras built for visible light.

To see skin in its full, three-dimensional glory, it first needs to be transparent.

The amount of neutralizing antibodies produced by COVID-19 patients—and the length of time they remain detectable—can vary wildly, a study suggests.

Scientists have identified a network of neurons that drives overeating in response to environmental cues, rather than genuine hunger.

By tapping into the inner workings of cells, Jinmiao Chen uses novel analytical technologies to understand why immune responses vary greatly among individuals.
