COVID-19 and HIV – how antibody responses are affected
In a recent study, researchers looked at how patient traits and COVID-19 infection may impact HIV-positive individuals' antibody responses...
The immune system and liver disease – new insights
In a recent study, researchers have identified the molecular process underpinning the suppression of T-cell defence...
The immune system – new insights
Researchers have developed a completely new theory about how immune cells identify dangers like viruses in a recent study. The finding may help scientists create better vaccines and acquire a better understanding of autoimmune conditions and allergies...
Is trained immunity impacted by revaccination or BCG dose?
Recently, through a randomized placebo-controlled trial, researchers investigated the effects of revaccination with BCG , a high-dose of BCG and a standard dose of BCG on the trained immunity in a cohort of 51 healthy adult volunteers...
Inflammation in soft gums – insights
Researchers have now found that gingiva stiffness affects gingival fibroblast characteristics, which in turn affects whether inflammation is likely to develop and makes it challenging to create gingival fibres...
The role of T cells in Alzheimer’s disease – novel insights
According to a new study, microglia collaborate with T cells, another form of immune cell, to induce neurodegeneration which may play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease...
COVID-19 – creating a vaccine that can change with the virus
In a recent study, scientists used machine learning to create a unique COVID-19 vaccine that targets the stimulation of T cells and is intended to be a pan-variant vaccine...
Eliminating metastatic breast cancer in mice – immunotherapy insights
Recently, scientists discovered a method to make chemotherapy more effective against metastatic breast cancer that has expanded to the bone...
How immune cells fight chronic infection or disease – new insights
Specific immune cells have been found to hold the secret to dealing with the prolonged battle against a chronic illness, according to researchers...
