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.

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 […]

Tokyo: Experts in Japan have identified a fundamental part of the immune system’s long-term memory, providing a useful new detail in the pursuit to design better vaccines for diseases, ranging from Covid-19 to malaria. The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, reveals a new role for the enzyme TBK1 in deciding the fate […]
