Multiple companies and organizations have announced early results about their COVID-19 vaccines. Here's what we know about Pfizer's.

When it comes to fighting COVID-19, scientists are throwing every bit of science we’ve got at it. A creative technique some researchers are looking into involves using gene therapy to fight this virus with… another virus!

During the period of rapid industrialization at the turn of the 20th century, factory jobs were incredibly unsafe. That is, until Dr. Alice Hamilton basically became an investigative reporter to figure out how factories were poisoning...

What if you were holding life-saving medicine ... but had no way to administer it? Zoom down to the nano level with engineer Kathryn A. Whitehead as she gives a breakdown of the little fatty balls (called lipid nanoparticles) perfectly...

By studying population-level epidemiological trends, researchers have noticed that an old vaccine for tuberculosis may provide some protection against COVID-19.

Vaccines teach your immune system to recognize pathogens, but sometimes your body needs a bit of a reminder.

The next wave of COVID tests take advantage of some really cool molecular biology. They can be run by hospitals and doctors on-site, and many turn around results in an hour or less!

Right now, scientists need additional COVID-19 monitoring methods. And our poops might help!

A bit of good news on the COVID-19 front this week: New research reveals a drug that might actually help save severely ill patients, and data suggests that distancing policies may have saved millions of lives over the last few months.

Scientists may have found a recombinant variant of COVID-19 in the wild, and its mixed DNA could be essential to the coronavirus life cycle.

Earlier this month, we talked with Daniel Skovronksy, the Chief Scientific Officer of Eli Lilly, about their colorfully-named COVID-19 treatments. We also discussed the challenges of mass-producing antibodies and how medicine might...

When faced with threats ranging from snake bites to COVID infections, some white blood cells retaliate with a peculiar tactic: spewing out their own DNA to form pathogen-trapping nets. But research suggests that sometimes this...

The COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t just affected us. It’s also affected the weather. And this turns out to be a lucky natural experiment to help us understand how much we influence the world around us.

Scientists are trying a little bit of everything to fight the virus that causes COVID-19, but some researchers are harnessing more than just the usual virus-fighting repertoire, from tiny sponges to viral RNA-destroying bubbles.

You might be wondering what we know about Sputnik V, the world’s first vaccine for widespread use against COVID-19. Well, so is everyone. Many experts are skeptical as to whether the vaccine actually works, because it’s been tested in a...

COVID-19 has the potential to ebb and flow with the seasons, but because it's a novel pandemic, that doesn't mean we're off the hook this summer.

Some potentially good news on the COVID-19 treatment front: Thanks to a technique that’s more than a century old, recovered COVID-19 patients may be in a position to help the rest of us -- with their blood plasma.

It will probably be at least a year before we have a vaccine for COVID-19. But in March, the WHO launched a megatrial tolook at four treatment options for the virus.

SARS-CoV-2 is super contagious, and researchers don’t yet know all the reasons why. But by comparing this new virus to the similar one that causes SARS, we’ve found a lot of promising leads that could help us figure out how to beat this...

Researchers think the virus behind COVID-19 may have multiple ways into cells—which could help us understand how it behaves.

On today’s SciShow News, we take a look at what that neck gaiter study is really all about, and also have a bit of good news about soot free flames called blue whirls.

The Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine is now the third approved for emergency use authorization in the United States, and it's a little different from its predecessors.
