Research reveals why we lose fat, muscle during infection
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Although infections can induce a number of symptoms, one common symptom is the loss of fat and muscle, a process known as wasting. Salk researchers wanted to know if wasting may help them fight diseases.

Monitoring T cells might allow prevention of type 1 diabetes: Research
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Scripps Scientists have discovered that analysing a certain type of immune cell in the blood can help identify people at risk of developing type 1 diabetes, a fatal autoimmune illness. If the new approach is verified in future research, it might be used to select potential people for treatme

Study finds long Covid not caused by Covid-19 immune inflammatory response
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Long Covid, which affects approximately two million individuals in the UK, is not caused by an immunological inflammatory response to Covid-19, according to research headed by the University of Bristol. New evidence suggests that immunological activation can last for months after Covid-19.

Researchers give more insight into T cell functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Researchers developed a tissue-imitating hydrogel model to show that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with powerful tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells

Study suggests new concept to understand T cell traits, functions
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
T cells encounter various mechanical cues in various tissues. In order to demonstrate that more elastic tissues encourage T cells to develop into effector-like T cells with potent tumor-killing potential, while more viscous tissues encourage them to develop into memory-like T cells, research

Researchers find how HIV can lie dormant in brain
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) inserts a copy of its DNA into human immune cells as a component of its life cycle. HIV latency is the term used to describe the long-lasting inert, latent condition that some of these newly infected immune cells might enter.

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 gives more insight into tumor microenvironment
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A new study provided a deeper understanding of the vast diversity of T cell states, as well as their relationships and roles within the complex tumour microenvironment, bringing a new perspective to understanding immunotherapy efficacy in cancer.

Human T cells play key role in controlling respiratory syncytial virus inf
Updated : 2 years, 9 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
