Infants who were exclusively fed breast milk during their hospitalization at birth were 22% less likely to develop asthma in early childhood, according to research presented during the American Academy of Pediatrics 2024 National Conference & Exhibitio…
The formation of pores by a particular protein, gasdermin D, plays a key role in inflammatory reactions. During its activation, an inhibitory part is split off. More than 30 of the remaining protein fragments then combine to form large pores in the cel…
Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered a new bacterium that weakens the immune system in the gut, potentially contributing to certain inflammatory and infectious gut diseases.
Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The findings sugges…
A team of University of Alberta researchers has created a molecular compound that activates the immune system and shows promise for becoming an effective and versatile treatment for cancer and chronic infections.
Results from a preclinical study in mice led by EPFL, and a collaborative clinical study in patients show that the type 2 immune response—associated with parasitic infection and thought to play a negative role in cancer immunity—is positively correlate…
Scientists at UNIGE and HUG have developed CAR-T cells capable of targeting malignant gliomas while preserving healthy tissue.
Research at UMC Utrecht has identified 29 novel antibodies against the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae, an important cause of drug-resistant infections. Using genetic and functional approaches, the researchers also managed to unravel how these antibodi…
Among women who experience recurrent pregnancy loss, around 20% test positive for a specific antibody that targets the mother’s own body. A Kobe University-led research team has now found a treatment that drastically increases these women’s chances of …
Innovative research has unveiled promising advancements in melanoma detection, which could significantly enhance diagnosis and prognosis by identifying the disease at its earliest, most treatable stages.
