Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], February 25: Parenting today comes with new challenges. Children are today forced to choose between spending more time indoors and fighting pollution when they are outdoors during certain periods. They are also growing up in an environment that is very differen
Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system's coordinators, helping other immune cells fight longer and harder.
New Delhi [India], December 6: During the colder months, prioritising health and boosting the immune system to ward off winter sniffles are more important than ever. While staying active, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated are crucial steps, a healthy diet can make all the difference
The trio--two based in the United States and one in Japan--was recognised for their "groundbreaking discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance." that prevents the immune system from harming the body.
New Delhi [India], July 29: Soaking up some sunshine lifts your spirits and enhances your body's ability to produce vitamin D, which is necessary for strong bones and a healthy immune system. But just as you're reaping those benefits, your skin bears the brunt of UV radiation. That's right.
In a rare and historic neonatal survival, doctors at Amrita Hospital in Faridabad, saved the life of a baby born at just 27 weeks and 4 days with immune hydrops fetalis--an extremely rare now a days, severe condition where the mother's immune system attacks the baby's red blood cells, leadin
People's immune systems deteriorate as they age, making cancer therapies that rely on immune cells difficult to implement. In a new study, researchers from the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), and the Ecole Polytec
An international team of scientists led by the University of Bath studied evolutionary differences between mammal species and found that those with bigger brains and longer lifespans tend to invest more heavily in immune-related genes.
Mucormycosis, a fungus infection caused by Mucorales, has a high mortality rates in those with weakened immune systems and those who have suffered severe trauma, such as burns, blast injuries, or natural disaster victims.
This facility ushers in a new era of gene and cell therapies to tackle scientific challenges such as targeted gene expression, immune system modulation, and long-term cell survival. The work will span from boosting immune responses against cancer to ensuring that therapeutic proteins are saf
Immunotherapy, or antibody treatment that activates the patient's own immune system against cancer, is increasingly being studied as an alternative to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This is because it directly targets cancer cells, reducing the negative effects associated with more conventi
