Researchers look at the use of intravenous immunoglobulin for treatment of Kawasaki disease and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, a rare reaction to SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers describe how malignancies leverage evolution and basic cellular functions to promote immune dysfunction and a better future for themselves.

Researchers have revealed in an animal model that ImmuBalance, a fermented soybean product, is effective in suppressing airway inflammation caused by asthma. Results showed a decreased presence of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, a decrease…

Researchers have found a way to make antibiotics more effective against antibiotic-resistant bacteria – also known as ‘superbugs.

Interleukin-12 — a messenger molecule of immune cells — was long considered to trigger the development of psoriasis. Now, researchers have shown that interleukin-12 does not actually cause the skin disease but protects against it. This also explains …

Using a novel technology, researchers uncovered shape-shifting properties of a common respiratory virus.

In evolutionary biology, the ‘Life History Theory,’ first proposed in the 1950s, postulates that when the environment is favorable, the resources used by any organism are devoted for growth and reproduction. Conversely, in a hostile environment, resour…

A nanoparticle-based COVID-19 vaccine elicited immune responses suggesting very potent and broad protection against SARS-CoV-2 in a preclinical study.

Researchers uncover the mechanism of how red blood cells detect and bind DNA, opening the door to a new area of research for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Immunotherapy may benefit people with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, a rare but serious complication of cancer that has spread to the brain and/or spinal cord. Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors caused notable changes in the characteristics of…
