A team of researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Weill Cornell Medicine, and other institutions have uncovered a key biological explanation for why eczema so often starts in ...

Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A nasal spray vaccine that puts your immune system on permanent high alert – and could one day protect against flu, COVID and future pandemics.

Across both mice and humans, we found that males tended to recover from pain more quickly than females. The reason appears to lie in how monocytes behave after injury. In males, these immune cells ...

Scientists at Stanford University say they are developing a single nasal spray vaccine that could protect against coughs, ...

Growing research suggests the bacteria left behind by the common childhood infection may trick the immune system into ...

A Stanford University team have tested their nasal spray vaccine in animals but still need to do human clinical trials.

While antiretroviral (ARV) therapies are extending lives and keeping HIV at bay, and PrEP has the potential to effectively halt transmission of the virus, a cure has remained elusive. That’s because ...

Listeria bacteria generate a unique innate immune response that is being harnessed to boost the immune system in cancer patients. Scientists at UC Berkeley and a spinoff company eliminated the ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...
