Researchers developed a new mouse model that replicates long COVID-19 more accurately than current models. Their findings could lead to new treatments.
When the immune system starts to break down, a virus that would normally have been under control starts to flourish. Here’s why – and what you can do about it.
The only vaccination against TB is more than 100 years old. Gene-editing has made it more effective.
Reactions like disgust are part of the behavioral immune system that helps you avoid disease. Usually conservatives are more fearful of contamination – but something unusual happened during COVID-19.
Is it time to cut the men in your life some slack this winter? Here’s what the evidence says.
Even if you’re healthy and fit, you still need vaccines to protect yourself from severe disease.
The risk of getting a secondary cancer after Car-T cell therapy is low, a new study confirms.
Our study provides new insights into the way that immune cells which fight a common virus behave in people with MS.
Mouse studies have shown ultra-processed foods alter the gut microbiome – which has a major influence on proper immune function.
A special group of people appear to have genes that protect them from the worst effects of Alzheimer’s disease.
A growing body of evidence suggests the main driver of MS is an abnormal immune response to Epstein-Barr virus.
C butyricum promotes a robust immune system and restores out gut microflora.
The gut microbiome and immune system work closely together. However, as people age, the composition and balance of microorganisms in the gut changes, with fewer beneficial bacteria.
Mycotoxins contamination causes health issues. Paying attention to storage of agricultural produce can save many lives.
When faced with a threat, T cells have the decision-making flexibility to both clear out the pathogen now and ready themselves for a future encounter.
Fibre isn’t just associated with colon health; it’s associated with overall health and brain health through the gut-brain axis. But not all fibres are created equal.
Research suggests we should embrace feeling down when ill.
Your immune system is often able to fend off pathogens it’s never seen before. But defending your body against all of them all at once is a tough challenge.
The current treatments for inflammatory bowel disease do not work for everyone. Tapping into new areas of biology may be the key to developing new therapies.
