Study gives more insight into development of infection-fighting immune cel
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
With its complicated network of proteins, cells, and organs, the immune system guards the body against intruders like bacteria, viruses, or tumours. Cytotoxic T cells, specialised immune cells that destroy malignant or infected cells in our bodies, can transform into transient effector cells

Study reveals blocking immune system 'messenger' might treat severe asthma
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Asthma is more hazardous than many people realise. Asthma kills over ten Americans every day, and the condition causes approximately 439,000 hospitalisations and 1.3 million emergency department visits each year.

Mice study discovers that older females have worse immune cell movement
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
According to a new study, older female mice had more immune cells entering areas of the body where they shouldn't, demonstrating that gender differences contribute to age-related inflammation and should be included in future research.

Study reveals how immune system trip wire that detects COVID-19
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Inflammasomes are part of a complex network of molecular sensors that our bodies utilise to detect infection. However, immunologists have been intrigued by the processes behind these sensors, which activate responses to dangers such as invading infections.

Lingering effects of Neanderthal DNA in modern humans
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
In a study published in eLife, the researchers reported that some Neanderthal genes are responsible for certain traits in modern humans, including several with a significant influence on the immune system. Overall, however, the study shows that modern human genes are winning out over success

CARD8 helps human immune system respond to viruses like Covid 19: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Molecular sensors that form the so-called inflammasome help activate inflammatory responses to pathogens. A new study suggested that CARD8 is a highly evolved sensor that can detect a variety of viruses and is critical to the human immune system's capacity to identify and respond to coronavi

Researchers reveal how immune system detection benefit spinal cord injurie
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
According to recent research, the immune system's ability to respond to spinal cord injury reduces with age, but it also suggests possible strategies to improve that response and hasten patient recovery.

Study finds how immune system detection could benefit spinal cord injuries
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
The capacity of the immune system to respond to spinal cord injuries declines with ageing, according to new research, which also reveals potential ways to enhance that response and speed up patient recovery.

Researchers give more insight into association between autoimmunity, schiz
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Autoantibodies, or immune system-produced proteins that may function against one's own body, have been linked to reports of schizophrenia. A minority of schizophrenia patients had autoantibodies that targeted neurexin 1, a "synaptic adhesion protein," according to a study published last mont

Gene editing tool might help reduce spread of antimicrobial resistance: St
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Through the use of a bacterial immune system as a gene editing tool, a novel technology that might help decrease the spread of antibiotic resistance is showing early promise.

Human T cells play key role in controlling respiratory syncytial virus inf
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
In healthy adults, the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) primarily causes the symptoms of a cold, but it can also lead to more serious lung infections in newborns, those with impaired immune systems, and the elderly. Surprisingly, the most frequent cause of hospitalisation for newborns and y
