Researchers developed a novel technology to attach 'fake targets' to tumor cells, enabling immune cells to attack regardless of antigen presence. The Univody platform showed promising results in animal models, suppressing tumor growth and triggering broader immune activation.
Researchers developed a high-volume method to rapidly build and test large numbers of antibodies at once, accelerating antibody research and treatment development. The oPool+ display platform has potential applications in influenza vaccination research, infectious disease treatment, and cancer research.
Researchers at Tokyo University of Science found that kaempferol increases RALDH2 levels in dendritic cells, promoting regulatory T-cell development and reducing inflammation. The study suggests that flavonoids like kaempferol may serve as natural remedies to alleviate allergic symptoms.
A recent study finds that exposure to proteins in common foods, vaccines, bacteria, and viruses can prime the immune system to attack SARS-CoV-2, potentially providing protection against COVID-19. The study's findings suggest that individuals with a history of exposure to these agents may be less susceptible to severe illness.
