Secondary infections caused by bacteria or viruses during hospital care remain a long-standing global challenge, despite ...

A recent study by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo unveils the molecular mechanisms explaining why some "stealth" ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

A novel HIV vaccine candidate induces neutralising antibodies after a single dose in primates, potentially accelerating HIV ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function while conserving energy, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Our immune systems prevent and limit infections. They are a complex set of organs, cells, tissues and proteins that work together to protect our bodies from harmful invaders such as bacteria, viruses, ...

In the following weeks, there will likely be an increase in respiratory illnesses such as influenza, COVID-19 and RSV. Now is an excellent time to strengthen your immune system to help combat those ...
