2+ week, 4+ day ago   (587+ words) For decades, antiviral immunity has been described as a molecular surveillance system built to distinguish the genetic material of invading viruses from the RNA normally produced by a healthy cell. A new study in Nature Immunology suggests that this picture…...

1+ mon, 1+ week ago   (493+ words) Kaposi sarcoma is not simply a tumour made of abnormal blood vessels. It is a complex tissue ecosystem in which infected cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, inflammatory signals and the surrounding matrix continually influence one another....

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (449+ words) Credit: Wayne State University The findings are expected to provide fundamental insights into why males and females differ in their responses to infections, vaccines and inflammatory diseases following prenatal viral exposure. Ultimately, the research may pave the way for precision…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (292+ words) A new study in Nature Communications reports that TDP-43, a well-known RNA-binding protein best studied in neurodegeneration, can also act as a driver of respiratory disease. Researchers focused on airway epithelial cells, where immune signaling and viral defense determine whether…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (364+ words) Influenza A virus is infamous for its speed—yet the molecular choreography inside infected cells is still being uncovered. In a new study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers report how the virus exploits a particular nuclear structure by hijacking protein…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago   (278+ words) In a new study reported in J Perinatology, researchers investigate whether exposure to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy can shape early brain and behavioral development in children. Although mother-to-fetus transmission is considered uncommon, the possibility that fetal development may be affected even…...

3+ mon, 1+ day ago   (903+ words) In a groundbreaking study unveiled recently, researchers have illuminated the complex interplay between influenza virus infections and mycobacterial infections, revealing how coinfection profoundly disrupts the immune system’s capacity to manage mycobacterial pathogens. This study, conducted using a novel human challenge…...

3+ mon, 1+ week ago   (779+ words) In a groundbreaking development poised to redefine therapeutic strategies in viral infections during pregnancy, researchers have unveiled a novel dual-pronged host-directed therapeutic approach. This innovative strategy targets cyclophilin A alongside the pathogenic interferon response, effectively thwarting virus-induced pregnancy complications. The…...
