Study finds how weaker immune response to viral infections in children wit
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) discovered in a recent study that infants with mitochondrial abnormalities had altered B cell function, which resulted in a weaker and less varied antibody response to viral infections. Researchers at the National Human Genome Research

Researchers give more insight into T cell functions
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers developed a tissue-imitating hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with powerful tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells

Researchers reveal how ammonia dysregulates T cell function
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
According to new research, mice with colorectal cancer who have tumours with high levels of ammonia have fewer T cells and are less responsive to immunotherapy. Ammonia, which is crucial for anti-tumor immunity, has been demonstrated to impede the proliferation and operation of T cells.

Loss of natural HIV control preceded by impaired T cell function
Updated : 4 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 12 (ANI): HIV is a master of evading the immune system, using a variety of methods to prevent the body from being able to find and kill it. Researchers recently conducted a study on a small subset of HIV-positive people whose bodies naturally control the virus then
