How a medical recoding may limit cancer patients’ options for breast reconstruction

The federal government is reconsidering a decision that breast cancer patients, plastic surgeons, and members of Congress have protested would limit women's options for reconstructive surgery.

Research finds more depressed patients with activated immune systems than previously estimated

New research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London has used an assessment of gene expression involved in the immune response to show that there could be more patients with MDD with activated immune systems than research has previously estimated.

Experimental decoy provides long-term protection from SARS-Cov-2 infection

An experimental "decoy" provided long-term protection from infection by the pandemic virus in mice, a new study finds.

New method may help identify the essential ingredients for making an effective HIV vaccine

Since it was identified in 1984 as the cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has infected more than 80 million people and been responsible for some 40 million deaths worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

What is the subsequent risk of mental disorders among individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and are the associations specific for COVID-19?

Researchers estimated psychiatric disorders and psychotropic medication usage risks among SARS-CoV-2-infected.

Unlocking the Secrets of Multiple Sclerosis Progression: Brain-Immune Cell Communication

To commemorate World Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Day, we speak to Dr. Cameron McAlpine about his latest research that sought to understand better the proteins and signals that act as messengers between brain and immune cells in MS.

Study shows how IgA acts as a "tuner" to keep the immune system in check

IgA deficiency is the most common primary immune deficiency worldwide, but its presentation has puzzled physcians and researchers.

Using nanoparticles and magnetic field to guide immunotherapy cells

A novel ideal proposed by European researchers would guide immunotherapy cells to where they are needed most.

Researchers explore the possibility of treating lung cancer by targeting telomeres

Healthy cells can only divide a limited number of times during an organism's lifetime. In contrast, tumor cells are immortal: they proliferate indefinitely and uncontrollably, and this is the defining characteristic of cancer.

Makeup of microbiome in a person's tumor varies depending on early or late-onset colorectal cancer

Researchers at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center studied the microbiome of people with colorectal cancer and found the make-up of the bacteria, fungi and viruses in a person's tumor varied significantly depending on whether they were diagnosed with early-onset disease (age 45 or younger) or late-onset disease (age 65 or older).

How do the outcomes of viral coinfections vary across host species?

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, researchers investigated the outcomes of coinfections of two viruses — Drosophila C Virus (DCV) and Cricket Paralysis Virus (CrPV) in 25 inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster and 47 other host species belonging to the Drosophilidae family.

Nonhuman primate study helps explain how stem cell transplantation can kill HIV virus

New animal research is helping explain why at least five people have become HIV-free after receiving a stem cell transplant.

New tool shows early promise to help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance

A new tool which could help reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance is showing early promise, through exploiting a bacterial immune system as a gene editing tool.

Alzheimer’s development: Study reveals why apoE4 gene fails to protect the brain from inflammation

A possible explanation has been found in a study for why apoE4, the most significant genetic risk factor associated with Alzheimer's disease, fails to protect the brain from inflammation.

Immune cells targeting core protein play an important role in early immune defense against COVID-19

LMU immunologists have studied the early immune response to acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and show how vaccines could be improved in future.

Manipulating a signaling protein to slow down muscular dystrophy

A team of researchers at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy is reporting that by manipulating TAK1, a signaling protein that plays an important role in development of the immune system, they can slow down disease progression and improve muscle function in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
