Scientists have discovered a defensive method of cells that resembles Spiderman shooting his web to ensnare enemies. These ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Lingering inflammation from viruses like COVID-19 or HIV can take a lasting toll on the brain. New research shows exactly how specific immune system imbalances lead to memory lapses and slowed ...

Researchers at the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute have identified a previously unknown type of immune system memory B cell (MBC) that can cause poor antibody responses in chronic ...

The emergence of T-cell therapy has fundamentally reshaped the approach to preventing and treating viral infections in patients undergoing allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Researchers identify how Marburg virus can efficiently infect human cells, using cryo-EM to demonstrate entry.

Australian researchers have discovered a previously unknown rogue immune cell that can cause poor antibody responses in chronic viral infections. The finding, published in the journal, Immunity, may ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

Researchers have discovered a pathway by which immune cells prevent the lungs' protective barrier from healing after viral infections like COVID-19. Investigators involved in a multicenter study ...
