Plant receptors that regulate growth, immunity have common origin: Study
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
As in animals, plants have immune responses that help them defend against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Before invaders can be stopped, they must first be detected, and this is accomplished by pattern recognition receptors located on the surface of plant cells

Study finds cancer stem cells trigger macrophage ageing
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Cancerous tumours consist of a mixture of cells, the most important of which are cancer stem cells. These cells are capable of establishing new cancerous tumours by evading the immune response.

Study highlights gut fungi's lasting impact on severe COVID-19 immune resp
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
According to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian, certain gut-dwelling fungus thrive in severe cases of COVID-19, magnifying the excessive inflammation that causes the disease while also triggering long-term alterations in the immune system. This research indic

Reducing stress on T cells improves their ability to fight cancer: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Even for killer T cells, which are specialised immune cells, searching for and eliminating cancer cells around the clock can be challenging. Scientists can produce stronger cancer-killing cells if they understand why killer T cells become exhausted.
