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 […]
