Cell-analysis method could pave the way for new strategies to fight tuberculosis

A new method that analyzes how individual immune cells react to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis could pave the way for new vaccine strategies against this deadly disease, and provide insights into fighting other infectious diseases around the world.

Cell couriers offer clue to how cancers metastasize into secondary tumors

A protein involved in making cells move offers a clue to how certain types of cancer metastasize and develop into secondary tumors, according to new research from the University of Warwick.

L452R mutation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is involved in cellular immunity evasion

A research team has demonstrated that the L452R mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein plays a role in cellular immunity evasion.

Scientists provide insights on immune evasion of metastatic cancer cells in lymph nodes

Lymph nodes are critical to the body's immune response against tumors but paradoxically, cancer cells that spread, or metastasize, to lymph nodes can often avoid being eliminated by immune cells.

Metabolite produced by gut microbes found to be involved in regulating commensal bacteria

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) have discovered that acetate, a major metabolite produced by some intestinal bacteria, is involved in regulating other intestinal bacteria.

Study confirms long-term immune system responses of adenovirus vaccines for COVID-19

Researchers from the University of Oxford suggest that adenovirus vaccine vectors may create strong long-term immune system responses.

Cells damaged by chronic lung disease favor SARS-CoV-2 entry

Researchers propose that similar to pouring water atop a wellhead prior to pumping, the airway cells of patients suffering from chronic lung diseases are “primed” for infection by the COVID-19 virus.

Study reveals how fine-tuning the immune system can improve vaccines, reduce disease severity

Immunologists have discovered a molecular route that regulates how crucial immune cells evolve into the immune system’s functioning components.

Scientists are paving the way for cancer treatments with fewer side effects

In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment. However, inflammatory reactions in healthy tissues frequently trigger side effects that can be serious and lead to the permanent discontinuation of treatment.

Researchers show how Covid-19 causes long-lasting changes in the blood cells

Using real-time deformability cytometry, researchers at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin in Erlangen were able to show for the first time: Covid-19 significantly changes the size and stiffness of red and white blood cells - sometimes over months.
