Discovery could improve treatment for people with hemophilia A
Researchers from the Centenary Institute have uncovered a reason why some people with hemophilia A develop resistance to their critical treatment, paving the way for the development of more effective therapies. The study was published in Blood Advances.
Study highlights microRNAs as key regulators in Klebsiella pneumoniae infections
A review in Biomolecules and Biomedicine sheds light on how microRNAs (miRNAs)—small regulatory RNA molecules—play a central role in the body’s response to Klebsiella pneumoniae, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections and rising antimicrobial re…
Researchers investigate the cause of lung damage in autoimmune diseases
Patients with systemic sclerosis or Sjögren’s syndrome suffer from various inflammatory reactions triggered by the body’s own immune system. A team of researchers has investigated the role of certain immune cells in the pathogenesis of systemic scleros…
Original COVID-19 vaccination did not stop immune system from fighting variants, finds study
Prior COVID-19 vaccination did not stop the immune system from mounting a protective response to the delta and omicron strains, though new mutation-specific antibody production dipped slightly, according to a study led by researchers at the University …
CAR-T cell therapy yields success in treating autoimmune hemophilia
Cell and gene therapies harbor great hopes for biomedicine. They are becoming increasingly important for diseases that are currently difficult or impossible to treat—for example, aggressive forms of cancer or rare diseases such as hemophilia, also know…
Five immune types identified in tongue cancer to guide personalized treatment
Immunotherapies are undoubtedly transforming the landscape of cancer treatment worldwide. By harnessing the body’s immune system to fight disease, they can achieve outcomes in advanced cancers that are impossible with conventional methods. However, the…
Dual action immunotherapy in CAR-T cells improves control of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia progression
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common cancer in children, accounting for around 85% of pediatric leukemia cases. According to REDECAN, more than 400 new cases are estimated to be diagnosed in Spain in 2025, and about 20% of pat…
Different versions of APOE protein have varying effect on microglia in Alzheimer’s disease
A new study suggests how APOE2 is protective while APOE4 increases disease risk by regulating the brain’s immune cells.
New clues in aortic dissection: Endothelial dysfunction meets immune infiltration
Due to the sudden rupture of the aortic wall, aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to vascular collapse.
