Researchers have identified two common drugs that may, when given together during pregnancy, prevent premature births. The finding is the fruit of a new Stanford Medicine–led, artificial intelligence–powered technique for screening drugs to prevent ear…
A prominent protein on most human cells may be key to unlocking the code that makes humans susceptible to pathogenic bacteria and viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), according to a new study published in Science Immunology led by res…
HIV may be suppressed by antiretroviral therapy, but its genetic material remains in the body. New research by scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Virology (LIV) in Hamburg suggests that some of these viral remnants may be doing more than simply lin…
New research led by the University of Colorado Anschutz is offering hope to people living with stiff person syndrome (SPS), showing that a CAR T-cell therapy may help change the course of the disease, with patients experiencing significant improvements…
Keeping vaccines and medicines at the right temperature is critical for their efficacy and safety. But this is an often overlooked part of getting them to the people who need them. In April 2025, the U.K. biotechnology company Stablepharma began the fi…
Progestogen, when used in hormone therapy, is recognized for its benefits in protecting the uterus. A new study suggests that its addition limits the increased risk of composite autoimmune disease associated with estrogen-only therapy. Results of the s…
An Australian clinician-led research team has developed a gene-editing platform that could give doctors more control over cell therapies, making them more practical for patients with complex immune conditions.
Researchers at City of Hope have uncovered an immune pathway that may contribute to radiation-related lung damage and have identified a potential strategy to block it. Published in Nature Communications, the insights from the preclinical study could le…
Neutrophils are white blood cells that form part of the body’s first line of defense. Researchers have now demonstrated for the first time that neutrophils are found in many tissues during embryonic development, and that they can perform the same funct…
A new genetic testing approach for sick children with immune conditions could slash diagnosis waiting times from 12 months to as little as two weeks, University of Queensland research has found.
