A compelling new study is claiming to have uncovered the missing link explaining how gum disease is associated with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and even Alzheimer’s. The research demonstrates how periodontitis can initiate a systemic immune respon… Continue reading How gum disease can influence heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s
A new study, led by neuroscientists from Stanford University, has homed in on the specific brain circuit responsible for stress-induced insomnia. The research suggests this same circuit is responsible for stress-related immune system dysfunction, point… Continue reading Brain circuit linking stress, insomnia and the immune system discovered
Researchers from the Sloan Kettering Institute have uncovered what they say is the first direct evidence to show how a dysfunctional immune response can contribute to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. The study, published in the journal Nature, adds to a growing body of evidence highlighting the role of neuroinflammation in dementia and cognitive decline.

HIV is an insidious virus, able to hibernate inside infected cells ready to re-emerge if treatment is stopped. Now, a team of researchers has found a way to shrink that viral reservoir by adapting a cancer immunotherapy technique to supercharge immune … Continue reading Cancer immunotherapy hunts down hidden HIV in mouse study
An international team of researchers has used machine learning to produce a novel blood test that can predict a young person’s risk of developing a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia, years before the condition develops.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Novel blood test predicts psychotic disorders years before they emerge
A new case study, from scientists at the University of Hong Kong, is reporting the first clinically confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 re-infection. Responding to the news, a variety of infectious disease specialists suggest the re-infection is not necessari… Continue reading Experts respond to first documented case of COVID-19 re-infection
Australian scientists have discovered a previously unknown protective mechanism bacteria use to kill immune cells, opening up potential research pathways that could help doctors fight antibiotic-resistant superbugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Disarming a bacterial “secret weapon” could help fight superbugs
Novel research, recently presented at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 virtual meeting, has described the discovery of opioid antibodies produced by the immune system following chronic opioid use. The researchers suggest these antibodies may be … Continue reading Antibodies to opioids discovered in long-term users
A new research report, published in the journal Science, is describing how certain species of gut bacteria can enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy. The animal study offers insights into a novel bacteria metabolite-immune pathway that could lea… Continue reading Study discovers how certain gut bacteria enhances cancer immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a promising form of treatment against cancer that can have incredible results – when it works. Now researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found that blocking a certain protein boosts the effectiveness of standard immuno… Continue reading Antibody aids immunotherapy in clearing out cancer in mice
