Two new studies appearing in Annals of Allergy Asthma & Immunology and being presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando shine a spotlight on oral immunotherapy and oral food challen…
A new study finds that thunderstorms can trigger sharp increases in asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits, underscoring the importance of storm preparedness for people with asthma. The research is being presented at the 2025 Annual Scientific…
New research has updated the understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into the skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis.
Infectious complications are not uncommon after implant placement. The risk is higher in heavily contaminated wounds, which are particularly common in war zones such as Ukraine, where many bone injuries require treatment. Researchers at the Fraunhofer …
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have developed some of the first robust laboratory models of a confounding adult-onset inflammatory disease called VEXAS syndrome—shedding new light on its mechanisms and laying the groundwork…
A new study led by Swansea University has revealed a new way to potentially treat certain autoimmune diseases by targeting a protein that helps regulate energy production in immune cells.
The New York University School of Medicine and collaborators found that capillary-associated macrophages in skin decline with age, weakening microvascular repair and reducing perfusion in mice, with skin restoration possible after boosting local macrop…
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how Staphylococcus aureus—a leading cause of skin infections—reshapes the immune system’s inflammatory responses in children with a rare skin condition.
A Czech scientist has contributed to understanding the function of the thymus—the training center of the immune system. T lymphocytes, key defensive cells, learn in the thymus not to mistake the body’s own tissues for foreign enemies.
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s Prof. Alon Monsonego had discovered that T helper lymphocytes, a subset of immune cells which regulate immunity, undergo functional changes with age. These changes can indicate the biological age of individuals, whi…
