As we age, the immune system gradually declines in function, leaving the body more vulnerable to disease. Scientists have discovered a new way to rejuvenate a key component of immune function, ...

Researchers from Monash University and the Lions Eye Institute have discovered a tissue protein that acts as a central 'traffic controller' for immune cells and can be hijacked by a virus to weaken ...

Pancreatic cancer uses a sugar-coated disguise to evade the immune system, helping explain why it’s so hard to treat.

Research led by Lancaster University has discovered that a class of antibiotics—fluoroquinolones—can directly alter the ...

MYC‑driven tumors silence innate immune alarms by clearing R‑loop–derived signals, exposing a new therapeutic angle for targeting MYC without broad inhibition.

Researchers found an association between increased activity in a reward region of the brain—primarily stimulated by hopeful thinking—and heightened levels of protective antibodies after receiving a va ...

The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding ...

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called platelet factor 4 naturally declines over time, allowing blood stem cells ...
