Study provides novel therapeutic targets for enhancing the antitumor immunity of γδ-T cells in diabetes

A research team at LKS Faculty of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) discovered that high glucose impairs the antitumor activity of immune effector γδ-T cells, which contributes to the increased cancer risk in diabetes and that metabolic reprogramming by glucose control may improve the antitumor activity of γδ-T cells.

Researchers explore gut microbiome dysbiosis in acute COVID-19 infection and recovery

Researchers assessed the taxonomic characteristics of the intestinal (gut) microbiome in patients with active severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.

Powerful imaging tool creates 3D atlas of the spectrum of tuberculous and COVID-19 lung lesions

Gross anatomy reveals three-dimensional shapes of pathology at a large scale. Histology, in contrast, reveals the microscopic anatomy of biological structures. But that magnification comes at a cost - histology shows only two-dimensional shapes because it studies small, flat slices of stained tissue.

New biosensing platform detects SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in five minutes

Rapid, cheap and accurate tests continue to be essential for epidemiological surveillance and for health services to monitor and contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Brazilian scientists have contributed to endeavors in this field by developing an electrochemical immunosensor that detects antibodies against the virus.
