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
A team of researchers has found that protein plays a vital role in the development of the immune system, they can slow down disease progression and improve muscle function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Autoaggressive T cells cause inflammatory fatty liver disease (NASH, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) and the ensuing liver cancer. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) have finally discovered the cause of this harmful behaviour. They discovered an increase in the number of
When it comes to motivation, sometimes looking within is important. Cancer-fighting immune cells, according to new research, have identified a way to do just that.
The immune system in the stomach of children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been mapped by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and Sachs' Children and Youth Hospital in Sweden. The findings, reported in Cell Reports Medicine, can be utilised to develop more tailored medicines.
When it comes to inspiration, it is frequently necessary to look within. According to a new study, cancer-fighting immune cells have discovered a method to do precisely that
When it comes to motivation, it is often necessary to look within. According to new research, cancer-fighting immune cells have discovered a way to do just that.
When the immune system's T cells are constantly stressed as a result of cancer or other chronic diseases, they suffer a process known as T cell fatigue. Our bodies cannot fight cancer without functioning T cells that attack tumour cells.
A multinational study team led by experts from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn, and the Netherlands studied brain immune cells and used laser irradiation to alter them. As molecular mediators, gene transcripts (mRNAs) will be used. Scientists want to learn more about how these cells change th
