"immune-system"

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, […]

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 […]

New York: US researchers have found that an abnormally suppressed immune system may be to blame for long Covid-19 and not a persistently hyperactive one previously thought. In a subset of persons who recover from the initial Covid illness, various symptoms persist, such as fatigue, mental haziness, and shortness of breath, which can be debilitating […]

London: The weakened immune systems of blood cancer patients can improve after they receive a third Covid-19 vaccination, finds a new study. Patients with lymphoma have defects in their immune system that restrict their response to vaccination. Despite this, the new study found improvements in antibody and T-cell responses after a third vaccine dose, except […]

Toronto: Researchers have teamed up to modify red blood cells to transport viral agents which can safely trigger the immune system to protect the body against SARS-CoV-2, creating a promising new vehicle for vaccine delivery. The new method, described in the journal PLOS ONE, is said to be a unique approach to vaccination. Red blood […]
