Antigenic variation is a key mechanism by which pathogens evade the immune system. New research has shown how trypanosomes change their antigen expression.

Neurons move backward to refine their positions in the brain after birth, reshaping the six-layered neocortex responsible for higher intelligence.

A new study highlights a previously existing, dormant infection with the Epstein-Barr virus becomes reactive and triggers an excessive inflammatory reaction. These findings open up new treatment options, possibly not only for PIMS.

Researchers have found that stellate cells – known for their role in liver fibrosis – play a key role in protecting and sustaining liver organization and function.

Researchers have uncovered critical mechanisms linked to metabolic insufficiencies that underlie plasmacytoid dendritic cell suppression after infection.

A new study co-led by the University of Zurich has now shown that the natural active ingredient gluconolactone restores immune regulation, reduces inflammation and could enable targeted therapy with fewer side effects.

A liquid nanofoam material, originally developed to improve the effectiveness of helmets, could also be used to line protective vests or car bodies to protect vital organs from injury.

What if treating autoimmune diseases was as simple as regulating the acidity levels of parts of patients’ cells? New research indicates that controlling cell acidity could treat severe inflammation.

The molecular quality control system, called the prefoldin chaperonin system, in Anopheles mosquitoes could be a promising target for malaria control strategies.

Researchers have taken the first images of the formation of cholesterol crystals, offering valuable insights into cholesterol's role in heart disease.
