Creating CAR T cells without an immune brake

T cells are usually very good at eliminating diseased cells. But they seem to fail when it comes to tumor cells.

Study suggests the gut microbiota may be one of the factors determining the physiological inter-sex differences in pain perception

Researchers investigated whether the gut-brain axis could influence pain thresholds.

Study reports robust immunity to SARS-CoV-2 including Omicron BA.1 for all three primary vaccines

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* pre-print server, researchers in the United Kingdom investigated the effect of two Pfizer/BioNTech BNT162b2 vaccine doses or Oxford/AstraZeneca AZ1222 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and a subsequent BNT162b2 booster dose in a cohort of healthcare workers (HCWs) over six to nine months.

A comparison of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza cytokine storms

In a recent study published in the Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, researchers compared the cytokine storms of pandemic influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.

Inhaled recombinant IL-15 tested in pet dogs with metastatic lung disease from osteosarcoma or melanoma

A protein that the body naturally produces could become an important new immunotherapy drug in the cache of cancer-fighting tools available to oncologists.

Study sheds new light on the role of transcription factors in bone marrow microenvironments

In your home, storing books on a bookshelf, tools in a tool box, and a broom in a broom cupboard makes it easy to access these items whenever you need them.

New understanding about malaria immunity could lead to the development of effective vaccines

Understanding how people exposed to malaria for the first time develop immunity could lead to creating more effective treatments including vaccines to fight the disease, researchers say.

Synthetic IL-9 receptor allows T cells to fight cancer without the need for chemo or radiation

Before a patient can undergo T cell therapy designed to target cancerous tumors, the patient's entire immune system must be destroyed with chemotherapy or radiation. The toxic side effects are well known, including nausea, extreme fatigue and hair loss.

SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 protein binds to dendritic cells and induces a hyper-inflammatory cytokine storm

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers examined how the interaction of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) open reading frame 8 (ORF8) protein with host dendritic cells (DCs) induced cytokine storm.

Study identifies an epigenetic regulator that suppresses pathogenic events in rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic inflammation of synovium, eventually leading to joint destruction. Epigenetic alteration (the mechanism of gene expression regulation without DNA sequence changes), such as low levels of DNA methylation, is one of the factors which worsens the RA state.

New immunotherapy mechanism can block spontaneous breast carcinogenesis

Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which specific immune cells can block breast cancer development and even suppress a developed tumor.

Immune responses may exist on a finer spectrum than previously believed

Researchers from McGill University and the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) have made some surprising discoveries about our immune system.
