Immune System News -- ScienceDaily New research has uncovered how lipid-rich fluid in the abdomen, known as ascites, plays a central role in weakening the body’s immune response in advanced ovarian cancer. The findings offer new insights into immune suppression in ovarian cancer and ope…
Modern HIV medicine is based on a common genetic mutation. Now, researchers have traced where and when the mutation arose — and how it protected our ancestors from ancient diseases.
How does obesity affect insulin production? Researchers are shining light on new stages of the ERK pathway.
Why do cats generally live longer than dogs? New research suggests that longer lifespans of mammals like cats could be linked to their bigger brains and more complex immune systems.
A team of researchers has found new insight into why some lung cancer patients do not benefit from tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL therapy. Their findings may help improve future ways to deliver this cellular immunotherapy for metastatic non-smal…

Scientists have uncovered a promising new way to enhance the effectiveness of vaccines by tapping into the potential of a specific type of immune cell, opening the door to long-lasting vaccines for viruses and enhanced cancer therapies. The study used …
Researchers identified a natural ‘brake’ within the innate immune system: the inhibitory receptor Siglec-E (SigE) and its human counterparts, Siglec-7 and Siglec-9. This receptor helps prevent overactivation of immune cells that drive rejection. When t…
A new strategy may help prevent or slow the progression of Type 1 diabetes.
The recently discovered bacterium Staphylococcus borealis, named after the Northern Lights, turns out to be resistant to several classes of antibiotics. The elderly are especially at risk.
