Innate lymphoid cells educate alveolar macrophages following exposure to different viruses

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Liège on group 2 innate lymphoid cells (or ILC2s) shows that the functional reprogramming of these cells following their exposure to viruses allows our body to react differently to exposure to certain respiratory allergens.

As opioids mixed with animal tranquilizers arrive in Kensington, so do alarming health challenges

Many people living on the streets in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood — the largest open-air drug market on the East Coast — are in full-blown addiction, openly snorting, smoking, or injecting illicit drugs, hunched over crates or on stoops. Syringes litter sidewalks, and the stench of urine fouls the air.

Scientists identify miRNAs associated with type 2 diabetes in humans

MicroRNA (miRNA) molecules in pancreatic islets have been thought to play important roles in type 2 diabetes, but until now scientists have not confidently identified which miRNAs are associated with the disease in humans.

Study reveals how a subset of lung T regulatory cells protects against deadly pneumococcal disease

A new study by University of Liverpool researchers reveals how resistance to bacteraemic pneumonia is provided by a unique subset of lung T regulatory cells.

Penn scientists discover a cellular pathway that keeps Ebola virus from exiting human cells

In their evolutionary battle for survival, viruses have developed strategies to spark and perpetuate infection. Once inside a host cell, the Ebola virus, for example, hijacks molecular pathways to replicate itself and eventually make its way back out of the cell into the bloodstream, where it can spread further.

New EV platform could help streamline the development and delivery of vaccines worldwide

To many, EV stands for "electric vehicle." To researchers at Harvard University and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, it's shorthand for another vehicle -; this one nanoscopic -; that might help streamline the development and delivery of vaccines worldwide.

First known epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in farmed mink

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) is a strain of the avian influenza virus that primarily affects birds, particularly poultry. HPAI A(H5N1) is a highly contagious and deadly virus that can cause severe illness and death in birds, including chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys.
