Study sheds light on new element of plant immune defense response to biotic stress

Plants are at the mercy of many stresses, both abiotic, such as drought and heat, and biotic, such as pathogens.

Researchers identify new pathway that targets common vulnerability in different pandemic viruses

Researchers working in human cells have identified a new pathway that targets a common vulnerability in several different pandemic viruses.

Scientists identify antigen valencies that work best in vaccine designs for HIV, SARS-CoV-2

Designing a vaccine starts with finding the right ingredients. Every infectious agent has molecules, called antigens, that the immune system could potentially recognize and attack. So scientists must carefully consider which antigens should go into a vaccine.

Protein structural study may lead to more improved research on disease development

Researchers had identified an actin cytoskeketal nucleator, called Arp2/3 complex, more than 20 years ago.

Insecticide can impact the feeding behavior of prawns leading to nutritional deficiency

Researchers from the University's National Marine Science Centre have demonstrated that imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide, can impact the feeding behaviour of prawns in a laboratory environment, leading to nutritional deficiency and reduced flesh quality.

Macrophage programming allows the body to fight infections and promotes tissue repair

Macrophages are white blood cells that, depending on the signals they get from the immune system, become specialized in either increasing or decreasing inflammation.

26 Aug 2020

Researchers identify mechanisms that impair the immune system in response to viral infections

Scientists have discovered mechanisms that cause functional deterioration of the immune system in reaction to viral infections, including COVID-19 or HIV.

New syringe technology for subcutaneous injection of viscous formulations

MIT researchers have developed a simple, low-cost technology to administer powerful drug formulations that are too viscous to be injected using conventional medical syringes.

Microsoft's AI supports the development of Vaxine's COVAX-19 vaccine

Given the global urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic, Microsoft's AI for Health program has stepped in to support the development and potential deployment of Vaxine's COVAX-19™ vaccine with a philanthropic grant.

Researchers find associations of lifelong antimicrobial drug use with saliva microbiota diversity

The human microbiota plays an important role in health and well-being by assisting in digestion, producing nutrients, resisting invading pathogens and regulating metabolism and the immune system.

Rare disorder of fat metabolism can cause chronic hyperreaction of the immune system

A congenital disorder of the fat metabolism can apparently cause chronic hyperreaction of the immune system. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the University of Bonn in a recent study.

25 Aug 2020

Researchers discover antibodies that may provide effective immunity against SARS-CoV-2

A new study by researchers at MassBiologics of UMass Medical School published in Nature Communications suggests that COVID specific IgA monoclonal antibodies may provide effective immunity in the respiratory system against the novel coronavirus - a potentially critical feature of an effective vaccine.

STING protein activates a pathway that kills tumor-fighting immune cells

The immune protein STING has long been noted for helping protect against viruses and tumors by signaling a well-known immune molecule. Now, UT Southwestern scientists have revealed that STING also activates a separate pathway, one that directly kills tumor-fighting immune cells.

Researchers add a component to make cancer vaccine more effective

Jefferson researchers developing a cancer vaccine to prevent recurrences of gastric, pancreatic, esophageal and colon cancers have added a component that would make the vaccine more effective.

25 Aug 2020

New study shows promise for developing COVID-19 vaccine

When news about a novel coronavirus switched from a chronicle of its progress in China to headlines about a worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, Gladstone Institutes scientist Nadia Roan, PhD, was in the midst of publishing several papers on T cells and their role in HIV spread and long-lasting infections.
