Allergic conditions linked to higher risk of complications after surgery

Two new studies being presented at the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) show that people with allergic conditions - including eczema, asthma, and hay fever - may face more problems after certain types of surgery.

Researchers identify patient response patterns to novel schizophrenia medication

Each year, about 100,000 Americans experience psychosis, a serious condition that disrupts thoughts and perceptions so profoundly that it can distort a person's sense of reality.

AI and protein language models can accelerate the design of antiviral antibodies

Artificial intelligence (AI) and "protein language" models can speed the design of monoclonal antibodies that prevent or reduce the severity of potentially life-threatening viral infections, according to a multi-institutional study led by researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Motor protein Myosin II regulates temperature sensitivity of immune cells

Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level-until now.

Mapping how the heart heals after a heart attack

Over the course of evolution, the human heart has largely lost its ability to regenerate. Our distant ancestors were not afflicted by heart attacks - a condition that emerged primarily with modern lifestyles marked by poor diet, obesity, and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Northwestern team develops antibody to expose hidden pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat and often resists the most advanced immunotherapies. Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a novel explanation for that resistance: Pancreatic tumors use a sugar-based disguise to hide from the immune system.

Mutated RIG-I receptor causes kidney inflammation through Y-RNA activation

Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have discovered how a small, naturally occurring RNA molecule in the kidney activates a mutated immune receptor, triggering a chain reaction.

Scripps Research scientists receive NIH grant to unlock long-term HIV protection

Nearly 40 years after HIV was first identified, the virus continues its devastating march across the globe. Today, 38 million people live with HIV, and each year brings 1.5 million new infections and 650,000 more deaths-while nearly 10 million people still lack access to life-saving medicines.

Novel nanoparticles can deliver an immune-stimulating molecule directly to ovarian tumors

Cancer immunotherapy, which uses drugs that stimulate the body's immune cells to attack tumors, is a promising approach to treating many types of cancer. However, it doesn't work well for some tumors, including ovarian cancer.
