Short-lived proteins control gene expression in cells to carry out a variety of crucial functions, from aiding in the formation of neural connections to supporting the body's immune system. These proteins are created in the nucleus and, after performing their function, are promptly eliminate
According to recent research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, equipping cancer-infecting viruses with tumor-inhibiting genetic cargo boosts the immune system and supports immunotherapy in reducing or totally eradicating aggressive tumours in mice. The findings pave the path
According to a new study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, equipping cancer-infecting viruses with tumour-inhibiting genetic cargo promotes the immune system and aids immunotherapy in shrinking or completely clearing aggressive tumours in mice. The findings pave the way f
Researchers from UCLA and the Seattle Children's Research Institute worked together to advance our understanding of the genes governing the synthesis and release of immunoglobulin G, the most prevalent class of antibody in the human body.
The diagnostic "multiple sclerosis" covers a wide range of conditions, each requiring a unique course of therapy, as has been known for some time. A potential new MS-like illness has now been identified and its diagnosis has been clarified by researchers from the University of Basel and the
Researchers have discovered a new treatment for chronic immune system disease that can prevent children from eating. Food allergies or airborne allergens cause eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, to accumulate in the lining of the oesophagus, causing eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
A circuit important in sensing and also in the regulation of the anti-inflammatory response organized by many brain regions has been identified by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS, and Inserm.
Researchers from Columbia University have discovered a unique cluster of immune cells that are only seen in newborns that enable them to deal with novel pathogens and explain why infants contract so many common respiratory ailments.
Sanford Burnham Prebys' recent study has contributed to the understanding of how melanoma circumvents the immune system and may help in the development of future treatments for the condition. A protein that is known to be active in immune cells is also active inside melanoma cells, the study
A new study conducted by Columbia University researchers explains why babies catch so many common respiratory illnesses and reveals a specialised cluster of immune cells present only in babies that help them cope with new pathogens.
Many people are unaware of the potential severity of asthma. Ten American deaths are attributed to asthma each day, along with 439,000 hospital admissions annually and 1.3 million visits to emergency departments.
