HIV and its mechanisms of drug evasion
In a recent paper, researchers offer fresh understandings into the perplexing mechanism that not only renders HIV extremely elusive but may also be involved in other viral diseases...
Axon regeneration in the adult nervous system – immune modulation
In a recent paper, researchers used a murine model to simplify a few of the difficulties involved in the regeneration of damaged axons, shedding new light on the quest for therapeutic approaches for difficult illnesses like spinal cord injuries...
Atypical B cells as biomarkers of renal complication in lupus patients
In a recent study, researchers investigated the role of abnormal B cell activation and differentiation to memory or plasma effector cells in the pathogenesis of Lupus nephritis (LN)...
Improved cancer treatment response in those with COVID vaccination
In an interesting finding, researchers found that when patients received the Chinese vaccine SinoVac instead of being unvaccinated, the cancer medications performed better...
Tumor associated macrophages: the future targets for anti-melanoma immunotherapy ?
In a review by Rebecca Adams et al., researchers described the involvement of tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in failure of CI therapy and potential strategies to target those cells thereby improving CI efficacy...
Novel insights – regulating skin inflammation
Researchers looked at mechanisms in the skin that might lessen damage from UV radiation or infections, which can also produce uncomfortable symptoms like sunburn, in a new report that looked at inflammatory reactions in the skin...
Vimentin and its role in COVID-19 infection
According to a new study, the cell-surface protein vimentin serves as a co-receptor for the infection-promoting entrance of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells...
How the brain slows us down when we are sick
In a recent paper, researchers have described a cluster of neurons slow the activity of mice in order to prioritise fighting bacterial infections...
Improving vaccine immunity against fungal pneumonia
Using a murine model, researchers have identified and described a type of T cell, that promotes the production of certain cytokines that play a key role in immunity against fungal pathogens...
