Singaporean researchers discover that sialokinin, a peptide in Aedes mosquito saliva, binds neurokinin receptors to suppress early inflammation, facilitating chikungunya virus spread. Targeting salivary proteins could offer novel therapeutic strategies against CHIKV and other mosquito-borne viruses.

New York: Aerobic exercise, which includes brisk walking, swimming, running, or cycling, can help reprogramme the immune system to reduce tumour growth and amplify the effects of immunotherapy, finds a new study. Published online in Cancer Cell, the study, which focussed on pancreatic cancer, provides new insight into how the mammalian immune system, designed to […]
