From crystal-induced arthritis to lung damage caused by airborne particles, the body’s exposure to toxic materials is a key driver of chronic inflammation. A new study has revealed how immune…

A new study has revealed insights into how a child’s environment interacts with their genes to influence the risk of developing atopic eczema - a chronic skin condition marked by…

Systemic sclerosis, a rare autoimmune disease, is known for its clinical complexity—patients can present with symptoms ranging from mild skin thickening to life-threatening damage to internal organs like the lungs…

Influenza viruses constantly mutate, allowing them to evade immune defences developed from previous infections or vaccinations. As a result, flu infections are recurrent, and vaccine formulations must be updated regularly.…

Lymph nodes are central hubs of immune activity. They filter lymphatic fluid, coordinate immune cell communication, and help launch targeted responses to infection and disease. Accurately modeling this environment in…

Our bodies naturally produce a powerful molecule called interleukin-15 (IL-15), a growth factor critical to the immune system’s ability to detect and eliminate cancer cells. IL-15 stimulates the production and…

A longstanding challenge in HIV vaccine development has been teaching the immune system to generate broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) capable of targeting the virus despite its rapid mutation and immune…

Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by white, lacy patches or painful erosions on the mucous membranes inside the mouth. It is primarily managed with topical…

In a recent review, researchers highlight how early cancer detection could be revolutionize by liquid biopsy, a minimally invasive diagnostic tool. By examining tumor-derived materials like circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA),…

Iron is indispensable for nearly all forms of life, and depriving pathogens of it is a central tactic in the body's fight against infection. Immune cells, such as macrophages, often…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating joint disease marked by the progressive degradation of cartilage, inflammation, and structural alterations. Typically diagnosed based on pain symptoms and joint stiffness, OA…

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted millions worldwide, including children, who generally experience milder symptoms. However, understanding the immune response in children is critical, especially as new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerge. A…

A fresh perspective on Alzheimer’s disease has led to a promising discovery that could pave the way for preventing the cognitive decline characteristic of this and other neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers…

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in humans and play a crucial role in defending against bacterial infections. They are known for their rapid response, quickly migrating to infection…

Feline heartworm disease, caused by the parasite Dirofilaria immitis, presents diagnostic challenges, especially in early infections with immature worms. This study assessed thoracic radiographic changes in cats from an endemic…
