Sep. 20, 2023 How do our muscles respond at the molecular level to exercise? Researchers have unraveled the cellular basis and signaling pathways responsible for the positive impact of physical activity on our ...
Sep. 20, 2023 Scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough by inventing a new class of near-infrared-activated photo-oxidants that can effectively kill cancer cells without requiring oxygen. The ...
Sep. 20, 2023 Among available immunotherapies, the use of 'CAR-T' cells is proving extremely effective against certain blood cancers, but only in half of patients. A main reason for this is the premature ...
Sep. 20, 2023 Scientists discovered a relationship between the immune system's killer T cells and the body's sympathetic stress response ('fight-or-flight') in varying cancer types in mouse and ...
Sep. 19, 2023 Adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) have a 34 percent increased risk of developing new-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with individuals who do not have the skin condition, and children ...
Sep. 18, 2023 Scientists demonstrate a double-acting mechanism for fighting a particularly aggressive, difficult-to-treat form of breast cancer. The research shows how silencing a certain gene, ACSS2, may improve ...
Sep. 18, 2023 Autoimmune diseases are complex illnesses, the causes of which are diverse and have not yet been fully explained. A research team has now discovered an immunoregulatory protein that could be linked ...
Sep. 14, 2023 A study reveals a possible explanation for why checkpoint blockade inhibitors don't work well for some patients whose tumors have a high mutational ...
Sep. 14, 2023 Researchers have characterized a specialized type of immune cell, which plays a key role in protecting and repairing the cells in the healthy human ...
Sep. 13, 2023 Scientists identify a new and surprising function of a membrane protein on the surface of cancer cells: It supports and stabilizes an important 'co-stimulatory' factor that enhances the ...
Sep. 13, 2023 HIV anti-retroviral therapy is considered a treatment and not a cure because patients usually carry a reservoir of HIV-infected cells that can re-emerge if treatment stops. These reservoirs have long ...
Sep. 11, 2023 Researchers are one step closer to making the T cell army stronger. In a recent study, researchers found that by manipulating one molecular signaling pathway in the T cells that participate in ...
Sep. 7, 2023 Crustaceans, insects and mushrooms are rich sources of the dietary fiber chitin, which activates the immune system and benefits metabolism, according to a new study in ...
Sep. 7, 2023 Scientists found that a subset of CD8+ T cells in the brain lessens the activation of microglia and limits disease pathology in a model of Alzheimer's ...
Sep. 7, 2023 By adding synergistic self-adjuvanting properties to COVID-19 RNA vaccines, researchers showed they could significantly boost the immune response generated in ...
Sep. 7, 2023 A new nanocomplex renders a tumor harmless -- and, on top of that, it trains the immune system to detect and eliminate ...
Sep. 6, 2023 A groundbreaking study has shed new light on the genetic underpinnings of Alzheimer's ...
Sep. 6, 2023 New 'hypervirulent' strains of the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae have emerged in healthy people in community settings, prompting a research group to investigate how the human immune ...
Sep. 6, 2023 A recent study has introduced a groundbreaking milestone in tissue regeneration by developing a technology that utilizes autologous blood to produce three-dimensional microvascular ...
Sep. 6, 2023 Human immune cells are capable of coordinating their own movement more independently than previously thought. Researchers discovered that immune cells do not just passively follow the chemical cues ...
