New research published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity provides evidence that alcohol use disorder triggers a distinct type of immune response in the brain. The findings suggest that excessive ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

The immune system works to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Various cell types and immune mechanisms work in concert to fight disease. Specifically, two waves of immunity orchestrate a robust ...

New findings reveal how a specific immune response to the Epstein-Barr virus could trigger multiple sclerosis, highlighting the intricate link between viral infection and autoimmune disease. Research ...

Scientists have discovered novel immune responses that help explain how some individuals avoid getting COVID-19. Using single-cell sequencing, researchers studied immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 ...

A research team at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Faculty of Medicine at Kanazawa University has developed a new ...

Historically, treatments for autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, myasthenia gravis, and primary biliary cholangitis have relied upon immune suppression. That approach can be effective, but ...

Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) is an immune system disorder. It occurs when you have normal levels of antibodies but an insufficient immune response to certain types of bacteria. Antibodies, also ...
