Monkeypox is a growing current health concern, with a potentially fatal variant of human mpox spreading across certain African countries, and a different non-lethal variant also now being observed ...

Researchers have developed a new optical biosensor to detect the monkeypox virus. The biosensor can provide results in 20 minutes. The new technology is faster and more cost-effective than the PCR ...

On immune cells, Toll-like receptors are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, or TLRs for short. But what signals activate TLRs, ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Boston University, and their colleagues have developed an optical biosensor that can rapidly detect the virus that causes mpox.
