Llama 'nanobodies' could hold key to preventing deadly post-transplant infection

EurekAlert   -   Scientific News Websites

Scientists have developed a 'nanobody' - a small fragment of a llama antibody - that is capable of chasing out human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) as it hides away from the immune system. This then enables immune cells to seek out and destroy t...

Compact, portable bad breath detector is in the works

New Atlas   -   Scientific News Websites

No matter how hard we may try, we can't really tell if we've got bad breath – and asking someone else to sniff our breath for us can be awkward. It's now possible that before too long, however, a portable "thumb-size" devi...
