Researchers show that the immune system can recognize and control the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a finding that can inform the study of latency in other infections of the nervous ...
When pathogens enter our cells as part of an infection, our body will trigger a programmed cell death known as "pyroptosis" ...
Insect immune priming refers to the phenomenon whereby an initial exposure to a pathogen enhances the innate immune response upon subsequent encounters. Unlike the adaptive immunity of vertebrates, ...
Scientists have demonstrated for the first time how Staphylococcus aureus—a leading cause of skin infections—reshapes the ...
Drawing from research on sepsis and complement biology, they developed the monoclonal antibody vilobelimab to block overactive inflammatory responses in patients with severe inflammatory diseases ...
Fighting off pathogens is a tour de force that must happen with speed and precision. A team of researchers at CeMM and MedUni Vienna led by Christoph Bock and Matthias Farlik has investigated how ...
Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against potential ...
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2023 / Edesa Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ:EDSA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on inflammatory and immune-related diseases, announced positive ...
The immune system serves as the body’s sophisticated defense network, constantly working to protect against harmful pathogens. Understanding how to strengthen this natural shield is crucial for ...
In the last two decades, scientists have been working to understand if and how sex is correlated to immune response. Previous reports have shown that women have stronger innate and adaptive immunity.
Most humans have long-lived infections in various tissues—including in the nervous system—that typically do not result in disease. The microbes associated with these infections enter a latent stage ...
