Immune System News -- ScienceDaily Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions that help control the immune response, preventing exc…
Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, causing inflammation and damaging organs. A new study has now shown that the natural active ingredient gluconolactone restores immune regulation, reduces …

Just a few days of eating a diet high in saturated fat could be enough to cause memory problems and related brain inflammation in older adults, a new study in rats suggests.
The microbiome shapes development of insulin-producing cells in infancy, leading to long-term changes in metabolism and diabetes risk, new research in mice has found. The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes — or po…
A new study suggests a promising alternative to previous attempts to remove the sticky, toxic amyloid beta plaques from brains with Alzheimer’s Disease: enhancing the brain’s own immune cells to clear these plaques more effectively. The findings could …
The body’s internal clock doesn’t just dictate when we sleep — it also determines how quickly our muscles heal. A new study in mice suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during the body’s natural waking hours.
