The Blood and Tissue Bank is studying how to therapeutically manufacture and use a type of nanoparticles released by the body's cells to communicate with one another, in one of the most promising fields of research for the therapies of the future. New medicines and advanced thera

Future therapies for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) must target both the virus and the immune response to ensure babies get the best possible outcomes, a new study by researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) finds.

By freezing your own healthy blood stem cells in your 20s, thawing them and undergoing a stem cell transplant in your 40s or 50s, it might be possible to rejuvenate your blood-forming and immune systems. Science fiction? At least it works when old mice receive healthy blood stem

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons in aged mice. They demonstrated that microglia—the brain's resident immune cells—take up these micronuclei, leading to changes in microglial morphology and

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed one of the first experimental models that faithfully reproduces eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), a rare but increasingly recognized allergic disease of the stomach. Using this model, they identified the immune pathways responsible fo

Warmer temperatures bring out ticks that spread diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. But another class of emerging tick-borne pathogens—nairoviruses—is on the rise. Some nairoviruses cause high fevers and reduce organ function in people exposed to certa

New research has demonstrated a mechanistic link between the immune response to herpesviruses—the family of viruses related to cold sores, childhood infections and mononucleosis—and an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of

In children and adolescents who have experienced child abuse, the body appears to remain in a state of alert for too long, and this can affect several bodily systems, such as the neuroendocrine, immune and metabolic systems. When this alert response is prolonged, it leads to cumu

Almost everyone carries Candida albicans. The yeast colonizes human mucous membranes—for example, the oral mucosa and the intestine—usually silently, without causing any problems. The immune system learns early on how to deal with it. It develops specialized immune cells known as

An international research group led by researchers from VUB-UZ Brussels and KU Leuven has demonstrated that a combined approach targeting both the immune system and insulin-producing beta cells can slow the progression of type 1 diabetes more effectively than individual treatment

Why does the immune system become less effective as we age? A new USC study published in BMC Biology offers fresh insights by examining a key immune cell type across tissues: macrophages.

Review shows majority of procedures offered alongside standard IVF not backed by reliable evidence Most IVF “add-on” treatments sold to people hoping to boost their chances of having children are not backed by reliable evidence, fail to boost fertility and may be a complete waste
