A new study has identified two autism subtypes—one associated with increased brain connectivity and immune-related mechanisms, and another linked to reduced connectivity and synaptic dysfunction. The findings could advance personalised autism diagnosis, care and support through improved understanding of underlying biological pathways

“Leisure sickness” refers to people falling ill on weekends or holidays after busy work periods. Limited research suggests stress reduction, travel, lifestyle changes, and delayed symptom awareness may contribute. Staying active, rested, and mindful may help prevent it

 Delivering the lecture titled 'Cancer Without Disease: Combining the Concept of Healthy Living and Aging with Strategies to Prevent Malignant Disease of Cancer' at UoH, Prof Kalluri emphasized the critical role of the immune system in preventing cancer progression

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.

42% of people suffer from various types of allergies due to conocarpus plant and its pollen, says Dr Vyakarnam Nageshwar; releases Allergen Sensitization Analysis Report-2025

Israeli researchers found that a Covid protein can cause the immune system to attack healthy cells, possibly explaining severe and long Covid symptoms. The study also identified enoxaparin as a potential blocker. Meanwhile, a new Omicron subvariant is spreading globally.

The discovery could lead to the development of drugs that enhance infection-fighting abilities by targeting the circadian clock in neutrophils, according to researchers at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.

Researchers led by Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) said cancer cells typically evade detection by displaying very few suspicious proteins that the immune system can identify and target, Xinhua news agency reported

MMP-8 travels from the blood to the brain, where it alters the functioning of certain neurons.

The Harvard Medical School (HMS) study, done in mice, suggested that muscle inflammation caused by exertion mobilises inflammation-countering T cells, or Tregs, which enhance the muscles ability to use energy as fuel and improve overall exercise endurance.

According to research from Beth Stevens' group, components of the immune system - complement proteins and microglia - mediate the loss of particular synapses connecting the cortex and striatum of the brain.

Scientists at UC San Francisco are developing a new strategy to treating kidney failure that could one day eliminate the need for dialysis or the use of harsh medicines to suppress the immune system following a transplant

A new study showed that T-cells of the immune system can get affected by weightlessness in space and render them ineffective to fight infections.

Your nose is running, your head hurts and you feel like you're coming down with a cold. You're settling in on the couch for a sick day. Then you reach for the snacks.

These alterations could potentially provide insight into the extensive organ damage caused by the disease and the elevated inflammation levels observed in individuals experiencing long Covid.

In the new paper, published by iScience, antibodies extracted from 800 year-old medieval human teeth were found to be stable and still able to recognise viral proteins

These healthy monsoon greens, packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants offer a delicious and nourishing way to embrace the rainy season.

With 27 per cent of cases originating from UP alone, concerns have been raised regarding the low awareness of typhoid immunization.

The study, which concentrated on mouse models, is one of the first to demonstrate that skipping meals causes the brain to react in a way that harms immune cells.

Hyderabad: A group of researchers from Hyderabad-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) in a study have found that human immunity could not produce the necessary defense molecules against the Delta variants of SARs-CoV-2, as effectively as they did with the other variants. The study, which was published recently in the Microbiology Spectrum journal, […]
