A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma cancer cells paralyze immune cells by secreting extracel…
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body’s defense system. In addition to its ability to evade the immune…
New Australian research has identified simultaneous abnormalities across multiple biological systems in people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Recent research from the Medical University of South Carolina laboratory of Russell Norris, Ph.D., challenges the notion that hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is an isolated connective tissue disorder, revealing that it also has an immune comp…
Researchers at Texas Biologics at The University of Texas at Austin, working with scientists internationally, have made an important discovery that could improve treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a common but overlooked virus that poses seriou…
The microbiome not only consists of bacteria, but also of fungi. Most of them support human and animal health. However, some fungi also have pathogenic potential. For instance, the yeast Candida albicans can grow in an uncontrolled manner on the oral m…
A new study from investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) sheds light on why some people never fully recover from COVID-19.
With the help of artificial intelligence, an international team of researchers has made the first major inroad to date toward a new and more effective way to fight the monkeypox virus (MPXV), which causes a painful and sometimes deadly disease that can…
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease in which healthy lung tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue. While the early events that initiate this change are poorly understood, recent research suggests that the disease may stem from …
Northwestern University scientists have potentially uncovered a previously unknown, hidden player in pneumonia. In a new study, scientists found the lungs’ own microbial community, or microbiome, appears to influence how the illness evolves, who respon…
