NewsResearchers identify the immune cells that keep a deadly fungus in check
A new study finds that control of Cryptococcus neoformans depends not on a single immune cell type, but on several working together — a discovery that could reshape how doctors think about preventing life-threatening fungal infections.

NewsDelayed antiviral immune responses in alveolar cells increases susceptibility to influenza virus
A new study finds alveolar type 2 cells mount slower interferon-driven antiviral defenses than type 1 cells, enabling higher viral replication during influenza infection.

NewsHow the Chagas disease parasite ‘activates’ its form capable of infecting mammals
A new study helps determine how Trypanosoma cruzi manipulates its own RNA to alter protein production and invade the host, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches against Chagas disease.

NewsDaily dose of zinc reduces infections by nearly 40% in children with sickle cell anemia
A new study shows that a daily 20mg dose of zinc reduced infections by nearly 40% among Ugandan children younger than 5 with sickle cell anemia.

NewsPreventing the accumulation of mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles in the liver
New research has developed a novel coating agent that prevents lipid nanoparticles from accumulating in the liver—a major practical challenge when using lipid nanoparticles in vaccines and immunotherapies.
-
NewsPre-existing antibodies linked to different immune responses after influenza vaccination
New study highlights how previous exposure to influenza viruses and vaccines can leave behind pre-existing antibodies, which may influence how the immune system responds to later vaccination.
-
NewsDevelopment of dual-action compounds to fight cancer and infections
Researchers have developed new hybrid compounds that simultaneously reduce the viability of aggressive cancer cells and inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and fungi.

NewsGut-pancreas immune crosstalk may offer new therapeutic strategies for pancreatic cancer
A new study reports that immune responses produced in lymph nodes shared by the liver, pancreas and intestine shape T-cell tolerance. This cross-organ immune rewiring increases T-cell infiltration into pancreatic tumors, pointing to potential new approaches for hard-to-treat pancreatic cancers.
