Research led by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Maryland, has confirmed previous research findings of host restriction factors that target HIV-1. In a paper, "Single-cell transcriptomics identifies prothymosin ...
People with an impaired immune system can achieve a relatively robust response against SARS-CoV-2 if they get a booster shot, scientists in Sweden have found in a clinical trial that administered extra mRNA shots to patients ...
Questions abound when it comes to the molecular mechanisms deployed by the human immune system to thwart cancer and infection, and questions especially abound when it comes to the precise steps taken by the innate immune ...
Recent studies have found that some cells of the brain, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, can transport pieces of the genetic code (RNA) from the nucleus out to their distal processes which may be several ...
Therapeutic antibodies that cause aggressive tumors to become susceptible to treatment are being studied with the hope of one day changing the fate of patients who either relapse soon after cancer therapy or whose stubborn ...
Defects in a single protein involved in cell death may impair the immune system's ability to combat a herpes viral infection in the central nervous system, scientists have found in new research that examines a pediatric infection ...
Immunology research led by Harvard Medical School has taken a closer look at the role of B-cells in fighting cancer. In a paper, "B-cell-specific checkpoint molecules that regulate anti-tumor immunity," published in Nature, ...
Research led by Rockefeller University in New York investigated alternate targets for monoclonal antibodies to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections.
A new analysis is shedding light on antibody measurements that can help predict the protective capabilities of the Moderna mRNA vaccine for COVID-19.
The entire family of coronaviruses is equipped with multiple methods of evading the human immune system, and two new studies have taken a deep dive into how these viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, leverage highly specialized ...
