New kind of biomolecule could play a vital role in the biology of all living things

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things.

Epigenetic changes drive the fate of a B cell

B cells are the immune cells responsible for creating antibodies, and most B cells produce antibodies in response to a pathogen or a vaccine, providing immunity.

Food dyes may cause disease when the immune system is dysregulated

Artificial food colorants can cause disease when the immune system has become dysregulated, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai researchers report.

New, patented method helps drugs to easily enter the cells

A new technique known as Progressive Mechanoporation allows genes or drugs to enter cells by mechanically disrupting cell membranes for a brief period.

Genomic Analysis for the Conservation of Koalas

In this interview, AZoLifeSciences speaks to Professor Parwinder Kaur about her latest research that uses genomic analysis for the conservation of koalas.

Study shows how T cells detect dangerous invaders in the human body

T-cells are known to play a crucial role in the human immune system.

Study finds how SARS-CoV-2 hijacks human cell machinery to disrupt the immune response

SARS-CoV-2 hijacks human cell machinery to disrupt the immune response, enabling it to cause infection, replicate, and cause disease.

New genetic database maps how immune disorders evolve

A first-of-its-kind genetic database for autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders has been created by Japanese researchers.

Distinctive "spike" proteins of SARS-CoV-2 also play a key role in the disease

Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2's distinctive "spike" proteins help the virus infect its host by latching on to healthy cells.

Increased expression of DUSP16 molecule leads to cancer chemoresistance

Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cancer cells in the body. It is a systemic treatment where drugs travel throughout the body and destroy cancer cells that have spread (metastasized) to parts of the body far away from the original (primary) tumour.

Low-dose administration of MERS DNA vaccine protects against COVID-19

The Wistar Institute has developed a synthetic DNA vaccine candidate for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV).

26 Apr 2021

New AI model predicts targets for previously unmapped T cells against coronavirus

A research team has created an AI technique that can bind immune cells to their targets and uncouple the types of white blood cells that identify SARS-CoV-2.

26 Apr 2021

Natural molecule can effectively block the binding of human antibodies to SARS-CoV-2

Researchers have found that a natural molecule can effectively block the binding of a subset of human antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. The discovery may help explain why some COVID-19 patients can become severely ill despite having high levels of antibodies against the virus.

23 Apr 2021

SARS-CoV-2 infection produces antibodies that can destroy infected cells

Research teams investigated the antibodies generated in people with symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.

23 Apr 2021

Study offers new ways to think about the immune system

Scientists have discovered new methods to interpret the immune system, as part of a new study reported in the Nature journal.

21 Apr 2021

Study finds raised levels of specific immune cells in asymptomatic people with COVID-19

The largest study of its type in the UK has identified differences in the immune response to COVID-19, between people with no symptoms, compared to those suffering a more serious reaction to the virus.

21 Apr 2021

Key discovery could prevent treatment failure in people with severe hemophilia A

Recently, researchers achieved a crucial discovery that could mitigate and eliminate immune responses causing treatment failure in people with hemophilia A.

20 Apr 2021

Antibodies may not inhibit SARS-CoV-2 variants from minks

It has been known for about a year that minks can become infected with SARS-CoV-2. The virus had been transmitted from humans to farmed mink and mutated in infected animals. Mutations were acquired in the spike protein, which is crucial for the entry of the virus into host cells and represents the central point of attack for antibodies.

20 Apr 2021

Supercomputer simulations reveal the behavior of dominant G form SARS-CoV-2 strain

Large-scale supercomputer simulations at the atomic level show that the dominant G form variant of the COVID-19-causing virus is more infectious partly because of its greater ability to readily bind to its target host receptor in the body, compared to other variants.
