Vaccines have traditionally worked by teaching the immune system to recognize a specific virus or bacterium—in effect, ...

An innovative approach supercharges the innate immune system to provide a first line of defence against respiratory ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered a promising new treatment approach for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most treatment-resistant forms of cancer. The ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg. Their study also shows that an already ...

A virus from humble black-eyed peas is showing extraordinary promise in the fight against cancer. Unlike other plant viruses, the cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) can awaken the human immune system and ...

To find these differences, the researchers compared immune cells and proteins from blood samples derived from 19 infants hospitalized with RSV infections, 30 infants hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 ...
