A new study found that green tea's EGCG ingredient can rescue mice from lethal sepsis, paving the way for clinical trials. The substance works by preventing HMGB1 from being released and activating immune cells.
Researchers found that lymphoid chemokines, which guide immune cells to lymph nodes and spleen, are reduced during active immune responses, potentially leading to transient immune suppression. This discovery could help explain why the immune system is less effective at responding to secondary infections after an acute infection.
Researchers discovered that damaged motor neurons in ALS send incorrect signals, triggering an immune cell response that accelerates their own death. This finding offers a new approach for therapies targeting the motor neurons themselves.
Malaria infection hampers red blood cell production, leading to severe anemia. A new study reveals MIF as the key immune player in this process.
Researchers have discovered that eating fatty foods can dampen inflammation in the gut by stimulating the production of cholecystokinin, a hormone that sends signals to the brain and immune cells. This process may provide a way to reduce inflammatory complications after surgery.
Researchers at Stanford University have found a connection between aging, infection, and leukemia in blood-forming stem cells. These cells were found to produce fewer immune cells and turn on cancer-causing genes, contributing to the development of certain types of leukemia.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins report that the band leader controlling DNA copying also brings the jam session to a close, intricately connecting the two processes. This discovery sheds light on the development of immune system cancers.
A new study finds that tai chi chih significantly increases immune cell levels and improves physical functioning in older adults with shingles. The exercise program was comparable to hip replacement surgery in boosting immunity and reducing symptoms.
Researchers have found a new, hidden piece of the influenza virus that may kill immune system cells. This protein was discovered by accident while studying
Researchers found that HIV-infected immune cells take in more vitamin C and glucose than healthy counterparts, but extremely high levels are toxic. This study provides a foundation to understand the relationship between vitamin C, HIV infection, and cell metabolism.
