Researchers from The Technical University of Denmark, DTU, document that a special subgroup of naturally occurring bifidobacteria plays a crucial role in reducing antibiotic resistance in infants.
Fall is in the air. Chicago evenings have a crisp breeze. But something has been bugging Annie Andrews.
A team of University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers have identified a pathway to help the human body defend itself against sepsis—a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s inappropriate response to an infection.
A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body’s immune system, on its head, opening the door to next-generation cancer vaccines.
Back-to-school is an exciting time for kids and parents, but it also marks the beginning of fall allergies as well as the cold and flu season.
Scientists at Scripps Research have developed a novel method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced imaging techniques to more accurately and efficiently identify therapeutic antibodies to treat infectious diseases.
A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, vaccines and cancer, without the need for preclinical model…
When the lungs are attacked by a virus, the damage doesn’t stop there. The body’s natural defenses cause inflammation while fighting the virus, often leaving lasting problems. The cells that make up the lungs’ mucosal lining are exposed to the environm…
Yale School of Medicine-led research reports that nerve-associated macrophages help maintain healthy fat over a lifespan and curb age-related inflammation.
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have created the first genetically engineered model of lung cancer in naked mole rats, a species long thought to be resistant to cancer. The findings, published in Cancer Discovery, shed light on how cancer begins i…
