Researchers found a mechanism by which immune cells impede the regeneration of the lungs' defensive barrier following viral infections such as COVID-19.
According to a recent study evaluating how various strains migrate across mixed populations in cosmopolitan cities, the chances of an exposed person becoming infected with TB vary depending on whether the human and the bacterium share a hometown.
A team of researchers has identified a number of uncommon helper T cell subtypes that are linked to immune conditions like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
Macrophages are essential to the immune system because they combat infections and help heal damaged tissue. It's critical to comprehend how these cells are triggered in various contexts in order to design novel medical interventions. The complexity of these cells and their reactions has made
Researchers revealed that a protein known as Piezo1 stops allergens from hyperactivating a kind of immune cell in the lungs. The work implies that activating Piezo1 could be a new therapeutic approach to lowering lung inflammation and treating allergic asthma.
The brain's process of waking up from anaesthesia is aided by the same cells that protect the central nervous system from injury, according to a Mayo Clinic study that was published in Nature Neuroscience.
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers discovered that specific bacteria colonise the gut shortly after birth and produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which educates gut immune cells. This helps to prevent allergic responses to both food and microbes during early development.
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for the majority of cancer-related fatalities in the US. There are various causes of lung adenocarcinoma, one of which is a mutation in a protein known as EGFR. Non-mutant EGFR stimulates cell proliferation in response to
The brain's immune cells, known as microglia, have been shown to cause cognitive abnormalities following radiation exposure. As such, microglia may be a crucial target for mitigating these symptoms, according to research from the University of Rochester's Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience
Researchers discovered that immune cells actively and closely guide the formation of human lung tissue throughout development, revolutionising our understanding of early lung development and the role of immune cells beyond immunity.
