Improving the long-term effectiveness of TB vaccine in mice

Briefly blocking a key molecule when administering the only approved vaccine for tuberculosis vastly improves long-term protection against the devastating disease in mice, researchers from Texas Biomedical Research Institute report this week in the Journal of Immunology.

T cells sometimes remain in the skin for years, research finds

Human immune cells not only circulate in the blood, but can also occupy certain tissues and sometimes remain there for years.

Specific gene variant linked with poor response to sublingual immunotherapy for allergies

Although sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has become an effective treatment option for many allergies, about 20-30% of patients don’t respond to SLIT for Japanese cedar pollinosis–a highly common disease.

Study shows how the release of T-cell cytokine combined with fatty acid leads to ferroptosis

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center found that a cytokine, a category of protein that acts as messengers in the body, and a fatty acid can work together to trigger a type of cell death previously defined by studies with synthetic molecules.

Study identifies the role of three key molecules in the immune defense against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus

Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) is one of the most deadly diseases in the swine industry.

Several variants of COVID-19 may hide away from body’s immune system, new study reveals

A recent study published in Nature Communications by an international research group suggests that people infected with COVID-19 may have several distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants stashed away from the immune system in various parts of the body.

Researchers describe the structural basis of how antibodies may neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is continuously evolving and structural changes to the virus may impact the efficacy of antibody therapies and vaccines.

Researchers discover how pancreatic cells remodel themselves to reduce the immune response in patients at risk for T1D

Scientists have observed for the very first time that insulin-producing cells in the pancreas are attacked by T lymphocytes during the evolution of Type 1 Diabetes.

New computational tool simulates evolution

The building blocks of life-saving therapeutics could be developed in days instead of years thanks to new software that simulates evolution.

Scientists elucidate mechanism that causes treatment resistance in aggressive pancreatic cancer

Drug resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of cancers. In an aggressive type of pancreatic cancer, for instance, drug resistance is associated with the suppression of programmed cell death, which results in the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.
