Total-body PET imaging and microscopy analysis of rectosigmoid biopsies reveal prolonged T cell activation and SARS-CoV-2 RNA persistence following COVID-19.

Nature - Fibrin drives inflammation and neuropathology in SARS-CoV-2 infection, and fibrin-targeting immunotherapy may represent a therapeutic intervention for patients with long COVID.

New research suggests that receiving multiple doses of a vaccine in the same limb leads to faster antibody development.

Nature Medicine - An interim analysis shows that a new mRNA influenza and SAR-CoV-2 combination vaccine is safe and triggers an encouraging immune response.

Scientists have uncovered why vaccines can elicit a stronger immune response if they are administered in the same arm.

Most people with depression or schizophrenia are treated with drugs that work on brain chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine. However, 1 in 3 people with these conditions do not benefit from these treatments, suggesting that other mechanisms are involved.

New hopes for a treatment for celiac disease.

For the first time, scientists have unraveled just how high levels of fructose affect the body, flipping a genetic switch as it's broken down – one that primes your immune system to overreact to things it would normally ignore. In this "trigger happy" state…

A groundbreaking study has revealed that white sugar doesn’t just feed the bacteria in your gut – it rewires them. Researchers have discovered that consuming sugar can trigger physical flips in bacterial DNA, setting off a chain reaction that alters immune…

Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) is a plant virus that has been repurposed as an intratumoral
immunotherapy agent. Its anti-tumor efficacy is unique when compared with other plant
viruses. The focus of this work is to identify the key determinants that set CPMV…

Lyme disease (LD) is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) transmitted via tick bite. The incidence of LD is expanding in North America
and Southeast Asia. LD patients are frequently misdiagnosed or receive delayed treatment
due to the lack of sensitive diagnostic…

Researchers have uncovered how the body’s own immune system may be driving the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS — a breakthrough that could reshape treatment of the fatal disease.

mRNA vaccines are quick and easy to make, while virus-like nanoparticles produce a stronger immune response. Now, the two approaches are being combined to give us the best of both worlds

Despite safety concerns regarding the toxicity of tattoo ink, no studies have reported the consequences of tattooing on the immune response. In thi...

For reasons not fully understood, proresolving immune processes sometimes fail to engage after peripheral nerve injury (PNI), leading to enhanced n...

Exactly how Epstein-Barr virus contributes to MS has long been unclear

Regular exposure to Finnish sauna bathing (FSB) has been associated with reduced morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to examine the acute effects of FSB on immune cell mobilization, circulati...
