Scientists in the laboratory of Weiguo Cui, Ph.D., professor of Pathology in the Division of Experimental Pathology, have identified novel molecular mechanisms that help specialized T-cells maintain ...

A mechanism of antiviral immunity in bacteria has been characterized. A research team from Umeå University (Sweden) has uncovered a mechanism for how bacteria build up antiviral immunity against ...

Researchers found a molecular mechanism, shared in cancer and pregnancy, that suppresses the immune system. Block this mechanism, called B7-H4, and the immune system revs up to slow cancer's growth.

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

A new perspective on gut immunity is highlighting the powerful role of RNA modifications in shaping how the body maintains balance in the digestive system.

In chronic hepatitis B, the liver contains immune cells that could destroy hepatitis B virus infected cells but are inactive. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that ...

A pivotal study reveals tactics used by the pathogen Botrytis cinerea to undermine strawberry plant immunity. Researchers identified a specific protein, BcXYG1, secreted by the fungus, which interacts ...

In the 1880's and 1890's, Robert Koch established that a different microbe causes each infectious disease. Koch defined a process by which a specific causative organism could be identified by ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

It's perfect to get this in before you take a day to rest and let your immune system build up to turbo-mode.
