In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers estimated the humoral immunity imparted by the two/three doses of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

Nipah virus does not just infect the body, it disrupts immune defences at multiple levels, suppressing early antiviral responses and triggering harmful inflammation.

A Medical University of South Carolina team reports in Frontiers in Immunology that it has engineered a new type of genetically modified immune cell that can precisely target and neutralize ...

Organ transplants save lives, but unfortunately rejection is a key hurdle. Now scientists have demonstrated a potential new way to prime a recipient’s immune system to accept a transplanted organ, by ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

Nipah virus in India poses a serious threat due to immune suppression, rapid spread, brain involvement, and high fatality rates despite early recovery signs.

Invisible particles in the air are not just irritating our lungs, they are quietly rewiring the immune system that is ...

Your immune system is your body’s built-in defense network, working nonstop to protect you from bacteria, viruses, and other ...

A study published in Science by the Champalimaud Foundation reveals a surprising new role for the immune system. During periods of low energy—such as intermittent fasting or exercise—immune cells step ...

Dr. Leondo Ferreira of the Medical University of South Carolina takes patient samples obtained from University Hospital La Paz in Madrid, Spain from a liquid nitrogen tank. A Medical University of ...

Modifying the organ instead of the recipient isn’t a new idea, but it is an important one, said Jeffrey Platt, a transplantation biologist at the University of Michigan Medical School who was not ...

Research reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of innate immune cells operated ...
