In several disease conditions, including infections and cancers, innate immune activation and nutrient scarcity occur together. A study from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, published in Cell, found that this combination causes a unique type of …
A new study from UC San Francisco shows it may be possible to control HIV without long-term antiviral treatment—an advance that points the way toward a possible cure for a disease that affects 40 million people around the world.
HIV treatment has delivered life-altering advantages. Antiretroviral therapy has led to a reduced mortality and improved life expectancy for people living with HIV. Nearly 41 million people were living with HIV in 2024. Eastern and southern Africa acco…
An international team led by two Université de Montréal researchers has unveiled how a molecule capable of opening the “shell” of HIV improves the elimination of infected cells.
Scientists have uncovered how too much sunlight can flip a hidden switch inside skin cells that makes inflammation spiral out of control and increases the risk of cancer. Their research reveals that UV radiation breaks down a protective protein called …
A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has identified biomarkers that predict the likelihood of a patient developing checkpoint inhibitor-associated autoimmune diabetes before they are treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. …
A new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has identified biomarkers that predict the likelihood of a patient developing checkpoint inhibitor-associated autoimmune diabetes before they are treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. …
Belgian scientists from VIB and Ghent University (UGent), together with Danish collaborators, have uncovered compelling evidence that early-infancy infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) significantly increases the risk of developing childhoo…
Regulatory T cells (Treg cells), a specialized type of immune cell, are usually seen as “peacekeepers” that prevent excessive immune attacks. Surprisingly, a new study published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy shows that Treg cells utilize …
In preclinical studies, researchers found that priming the immune system with a Treg-expanding therapy before stem cell transplant boosted survival, protected vital organs, and promoted a balanced gut microbiome—offering hope for safer, more effective …
