New research co-led by Burnet Institute and WEHI has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving the way for the first effective vaccine against the most widespread form of ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

If autoimmune disease runs in your family, you may have been told some version of this: It’s in your genes. But science is revealing a deeper layer of complexity; genetic predisposition influences ...

A study published in Nature Medicine identified a link between the placebo effect and immune system function. In the experiment, individuals who generated positive expectations showed a stronger ...

The immune system function declines with age, but a team of MIT researchers may have found a way to rejuvenate it. When older mice were injected with mRNA that coded for the creation of ...

Breast milk is not just nutrition; it’s an immune delivery system, passing along cells, cytokines, and antibodies that protect the newborn and begin to train their immune system. Prior studies on ...

A large genetic analysis combined with clinical data suggests that long-term dietary tendencies may shape autism risk by subtly influencing the immune system, highlighting why diet matters but isn’t a ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering immune receptors that normally receive weak signals from tumors, these four ...

I am lying under a blanket, feeling rough, staring at a bowl of oranges. Every fibre of my being is urging me to devour the lot. I can hear my mum – and medical friends at university – insisting that ...

Kimchi may do far more than add flavor to meals—it could help fine-tune the human immune system. A clinical study using advanced single-cell genetic analysis found that regular kimchi consumption ...
