Age-tailored therapies needed for treating the young and old with sepsis

Dealing with an infection isn't as straightforward as simply killing the pathogen. The body also needs to carefully steer and monitor its immune response to prevent collateral damage.

Lund researchers create "recipe book" for reprogramming immune cells to fight disease

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation.

Bacterial toxin shrinks tumors, enhances immune response in colorectal cancer study

A toxin secreted by cholera bacteria can inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer without causing any measurable damage to the body. This is shown by a new study by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden.

DTU researchers discover gut bacteria link to reduced allergy and asthma risk

Researchers from DTU have patented an invention that uses naturally produced substances from gut bacteria of the bifidobacteria type to reduce the risk of allergies and asthma.

Vaccines are helping older people more than we knew

Let's be clear: The primary reason to be vaccinated against shingles is that two shots provide at least 90% protection against a painful, blistering disease that a third of Americans will suffer in their lifetimes, one that can cause lingering nerve pain and other nasty long-term consequences.

Specific foods linked to autism risk via immune pathways

Genetic and clinical data suggest dietary factors may influence autism risk via immune pathways, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

Breast milk shares beneficial bacteria with babies

Researchers examine the relationship between the maternal milk microbiome and infant gut microbiome.

Novel antibody shows promise in overcoming resistance to cancer immunotherapy

According to a Phase I study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published today in Nature Medicine, the novel monoclonal antibody linavonkibart demonstrated the potential to overcome treatment resistance to anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors in multiple cancer types.

Novel immunotherapy targeting pancreatic cancer shows promising results in phase 1/2 trial

A recent publication in Nature Medicine describes a novel immunotherapy targeting pancreatic cancer that has shown promising results in a first in-human phase 1/2 trial.

Genomic analysis reveals diverse, drug-resistant E. coli in diabetic foot infections

New research led by King's College London, in collaboration with the University of Westminster, has shed light on the diversity and characteristics of E. coli strains that drive diabetic foot infections.

Obesity study reveals gut fat's unique inflammatory role and immune cell richness

Abdominal fat is not a uniform tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, and Helmholtz Munich reveals that fat located close to the large intestine contains an unusually high number of inflammatory fat cells and immune cells.

Single-cell analysis reveals gene disruptions in early-onset Alzheimer's brain regions

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to reveal disruptions in gene function in three brain regions of patients with sporadic early onset Alzheimer's disease.

New test could improve future diagnosis and monitoring of IBD

A test that rapidly detects signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in stool samples could improve future diagnosis and monitoring of the condition, a study suggests.

Cat disease research reveals coronavirus's broad attack on the immune system

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have uncovered new details about how a once-deadly coronavirus disease in cats spreads through the immune system.

Blood test opens the doors to early diagnosis and prevention of Crohn's disease

Sinai Health researchers have shown a blood test that can predict Crohn's disease years before symptoms appear, opening the doors to early diagnosis and potentially prevention.

12 Jan 2026

Researchers identify possible target for new therapies against periodontitis aggravated by smoking

Smoking tobacco is known to worsen symptoms of periodontitis and reduce responsiveness to treatment. Using high-resolution spatial transcriptomics, researchers identified differences between smokers and non-smokers in the expression of genes that weaken gum epithelial integrity and cause bone damage through inflammation.

CNIO study identifies genes linked to pancreatic cancer risk and prognosis

A new study by the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has identified several sets of genes related to the predisposition to develop pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (the most common type of pancreatic cancer), as well as the prognosis of the disease once it has appeared.

Study reveals how tuberculosis exploits immune defenses to promote infection

Scientists have made a discovery that helps explain why humans and animals are so susceptible to contracting tuberculosis(TB) – and it involves the bacteria harnessing part of the immune system meant to protect against infection.

Single-cell analysis illuminates myeloma immune landscape

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in partnership with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) and in collaboration with leading institutions across the country, have helped generate the largest single-cell immune cell atlas of the bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that, while treatable, remains incurable.
