In a breakthrough for influenza research, scientists have discovered immune cells that can recognize influenza (flu) viruses ...

In the midst of pandemic upheaval, researchers have gained fundamental insights about how the body fends off infections.

Influenza A virus particles strategically adapt their shape—to become either spheres or larger filaments—to favor their ...

The researchers discovered that in a healthy state, the interaction between NORAD and STAT3 prevents the immune system from producing a virus-targeted response, but when a viral attack happens, the ...

Viruses are masters at disguise. When they are pushed too far by our immune system, they send new virus variants into play that are no longer recognized by immune cells. They escape our immune system ...

Applied to tumours on its own, the virus fails to elicit an immune response that is strong enough to be helpful clinically. So the team engineered Newcastle disease viruses to carry the genetic ...

The same mechanisms involved in COVID-related cardiovascular events are responsible for COVID-related myocarditis.

“If the new virus variant can successfully escape the immune response, it is no longer sufficient to have recovered from one of the previous variants or to have been vaccinated with a previously ...

Humans have an exceptional ability to deal with viruses. In most cases, your immune system is able to fight an infection. On ...

A study of fruit flies shows some species are highly susceptible to a wide range of viruses. The paper, published in the ...

Infection with hepatitis D viruses causes severe inflammation of the liver. An MHH team has now identified a marker on natural killer cells that is influenced by the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of ...
