Researchers capture a new high-resolution view of the rabies virus

Around 59,000 individuals are shockingly killed by the rabies virus each year, and several of them are children. Some victims, particularly children, discover they have been exposed after it is too late.

Researchers understand how Tenascin proteins slowed down the regeneration process

Tenascin C and Tenascin R, are two proteins that have been the topic of investigation at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Myelin sheaths, or the sheaths of the nerve cells, are destroyed by immune system cells in this condition.

Researchers discover a new interferon-gamma receptor signaling pathway

The interferon-gamma receptor (IFNgR) signaling pathway has been identified to be crucial for the vulnerability of glioblastoma tumors to death by CAR T-cell immunotherapy, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

Research findings provide clues on the properties that might have made A. baumannii a successful pathogen

Over 670,000 people in Europe become ill each year as a result of pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and 33,000 people die as a result of the diseases they cause. Pathogens that are resistant to multiple antibiotics at the same time are particularly dangerous.

Study describes the importance of the autoimmune response in bacteria

CRISPR has made headlines in recent years for its potential to help patients with conditions as diverse as blindness and sickle cell disease. However, bacteria were already using CRISPR as an immune system to combat viruses long before humans adopted it to combat genetic disorders.

Study reveals that gene variant regulates protein level to prevent blood clots in the lungs

The probability of blood clots in the lungs of very sick COVID-19 patients is influenced by a gene variant in the natural immune system. This is demonstrated in a new study published in Nature Immunology by researchers from Uppsala University and Karolinska Institutet.

Researchers analyze the involvement of immune cells in lung cancer survival

Lung cancer affects approximately 48,500 persons in the United Kingdom every year. New treatments are urgently needed because only around 20% of patients live 5 years after diagnosis, and it is the leading cause of cancer death.

Researchers created ultrasound-guided microbubbles to enhance immunotherapy performance

The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center scientists have created an ultrasound-guided cancer immunotherapy approach that promotes systemic antitumor immunity and increases immune checkpoint blockade therapeutic potential. Nature Nanotechnology published the results of the pioneering study.
