The science of making reagents, the chemicals needed for the COVID-19 finger-prick test.
Most commercial hand sanitizers are mainly alcohol, but forget about hitting the liquor store and mixing your own.
When the holes – also called ‘eyes’ – don’t appear in a batch, cheesemakers say the cheese is 'blind.'
Knowing what genes cause antibiotic resistance -- and where they are in the body -- is critical for preventing further antibiotic resistance.
Americans love their supplements, but some of the products are contaminated with heavy metals, bacteria and toxic fungi. The FDA has little control because of a law passed in 1994.
Combining design innovation methods with medical disciplines such as microbiology can help tackle health related challenges.
From dietary supplements to poop transplants, probiotics are now a multi-billion dollar market.
Antibiotics aren't a one-size-fits-all treatment – the one you had last time might not work on the infection you have at the moment. So how do doctors determine which one is likely to work?
