Researchers have used a method of total-body imaging to measure and track the body’s immune response to viral infection. The method is a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a study led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine has ...

Scientists have discovered novel immune responses that help explain how some individuals avoid getting COVID-19. Using single-cell sequencing, researchers studied immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 ...

Nipah virus does not just infect the body, it disrupts immune defences at multiple levels, suppressing early antiviral responses and triggering harmful inflammation.

For years, there has been a long-held belief that acute viral infections like Zika or COVID-19 are directly responsible for neurological damage, but researchers have now discovered that it's the ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that regulates the immune response against parasites. During a parasitic infection, specific immune cells ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work together to fight the virus by triggering an arsenal of antiviral defenses. In a ...

(L-R) The team of researchers from NTU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), consisting of PhD student Miss Rae Chua, Research Associate Mr Muhammad Jasrie Firdaus, Mr Toh Gee Ann, ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv preprint* server, researchers examined the impact of helminth infection on the effectiveness of a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ...

In a new study, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers found that altered B cell function in children with mitochondrial disorders led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral ...

Miguel P. Soares is in the Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine, Oeiras 2780-156, Portugal. Despite young and aged mice developing similar bacterial burdens, the two groups showed striking ...
