Antibodies and Immunology

Antibodies are produced by our immune systems to protect our bodies from unwanted substances, such as infections. When a harmful substance enters the body, antibodies bind themselves to the foreign substance in order to destroy it. In this hub, you will find a wide range of articles, research papers, and the latest news on antibodies and immunology.

Genetic Differences Can Undermine Antibody-Based Therapies

The genome differs from person to person in thousands of positions. In some cases, this means that proteins have a different building block in certain regions, rendering some antibody-based therapies ineffective, report researchers from the University of Basel, Switzerland.

Kefir-Derived Bacteria Show Potential to Reverse Age-Related Immune Decline

The process of aging is associated with a decline in immune functions and persistent low-level inflammation.

Light-Based Technique Reveals How Extracellular Vesicles Interact With Cells

The tiny bubbles that carry signals between cells throughout the body were discovered decades ago, but precisely what they contain and how their cargo affects recipient cells is still largely a mystery.

Visualizing How Cancer Seed Cells Evade Brain Immunity

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Brain metastasis is particularly severe and affects 10-30% of patients with advanced lung, breast, and melanoma cancers.
