Autoimmune diseases are a common health problem, and while system-wide immune suppression can help relieve symptoms, this can cause other complications. In a new study, scientists at Scripps Research developed nanoparticles that can selectively target … Continue reading Immune-regulating nanoparticles prevent arthritis in susceptible mice

Immunotherapy is a promising cancer treatment, but getting it to work against solid tumors is proving difficult. A new study has not only identified a drug that’s effective against solid tumors, but may have uncovered a reason that immunotherapy often … Continue reading Promising prostate cancer drug hints at improved immunotherapy
It’s assumed that as we get older our health will gradually deteriorate. Our bodies age, wrinkles form, metabolism slows, and our immune system weakens. But how much of what we consider to simply be natural aging is actually due to preventable environm… Continue reading Study proves chronic exposure to air pollution can weaken immune system
According to the latest modeling from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a pair of Omicron subvariants (BQ.1 & BQ.1.1) now account for half of all SARS.CoV.2 infections in the United States, swiftly surpassing the previously dominant… Continue reading Omicron BQ variants dominant in US, last antibody therapies falter
In a new study described by one oncologist as “seminal” and “pioneering”, researchers in the United States have successfully used CRISPR gene-editing technology to create personalized cancer-targeting immune cells. In a Phase 1 trial the researchers te… Continue reading “Seminal” study gene edits immune cells to target cancer
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a functional cure for diabetes in mice, by creating a kind of hybrid immune system. Treated animals were able to manage their blood glucose levels for the duration of the trial, without needing the immu… Continue reading “Hybrid” immune system reboot leads to functional diabetes cure in mice
A new paper in the journal JAMA Oncology has reported the results of a decade-long Phase 1 human trial testing an experimental breast cancer vaccine. The novel treatment was found to be “very safe” and a larger Phase 2 trial is now underway testing eff… Continue reading Experimental breast cancer vaccine passes first human trials
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so they say. Scientists have now demonstrated a new potential cancer vaccine that involves injections of dormant tumor cells to stimulate the immune system and help prevent the onset of cancer.Continue R… Continue reading Cancer vaccine using “zombie” cells shows promise in mouse tests
Researchers have discovered a unique type of fat molecule in the brain may have anti-inflammatory effects and play a crucial role in preventing age-related neurological disease. Animal studies demonstrate levels of the molecule decline with age and their absence could contribute to brain inflammation associated with age-related neurodegeneration.
