Dead cells disrupt normal immune responses
28 May, 2019Scientists have shown that immune cells prioritise the clearance of dead cells, which overrides their normal migration to sites of injury and impairs immune responses.
Antibiotic treatment alleviates Alzheimer's in mice
24 May, 2019By altering the gut microbiome, long-term antibiotic treatment reduces inflammation and slows the growth of amyloid plaques in the brains of male mice.
Blood flow 'master controller' discovered in the brain
22 May, 2019The discovery may pinpoint where cardiovascular issues such as high blood pressure and heart failure are controlled in the brain.
How infants' heads change shape during birth
17 May, 2019Using MRI, scientists have captured 3D images that show how infants' brains and skulls change shape as they move through the birth canal just before delivery.
New stem cell treatment for vascular diseases
14 May, 2019Researchers have developed technology that can produce large quantities of stem cells in a short time, using only a small blood sample.
Oral vaccine could protect children from hep B
13 May, 2019Oral vaccines are both safer and less expensive than injections, so researchers are continuously pursuing ways to produce an oral vaccine that is sufficiently effective.
How superbugs hide from their host
10 May, 2019Researchers have discovered how a hospital superbug evades the immune system to cause infection — a breakthrough that could pave the way for new treatments.
What makes some cancer cells dormant?
09 May, 2019Most will associate cancer with its fast growing cells that spread uncontrollably — but in fact, it's often the cancer cells that are dormant and inactive that pose the greatest threat.
6 tips for optimising antibiotic use
02 May, 2019Researchers from the University of Leicester have provided a set of recommendations about how to address the overuse of antibiotics in health care.
Peanut immunotherapy may be increasing allergic reactions
30 April, 2019Despite effectively inducing desensitisation in the clinic, oral immunotherapy for peanut allergies appears to considerably increase allergic and anaphylactic reactions.
Gut microbiome may influence HIV transmission in high-risk men
19 April, 2019Gut microbes from high HIV-risk men drive immune activation in mice and HIV infection in cells, according to a new study.
How does the gut microbiome help fight cancer?
12 April, 2019Scientists have confirmed that there is a link between the gut microbiome and the immune system's ability to fight cancer.
