Cancer de la prostate, leucémie, cancer du poumon… un nouveau type d’immunothérapie pourrait améliorer la prise en charge de ces différents types de cancer.
- Professor in Immunology, University of Manchester
This new type of immunotherapy shows promise for treating different cancers including prostate cancer, leukaemia and lung cancer.
Introducing potentially allergic foods early on may actually help reduce the risk of developing a life-changing allergy.
As vacinas salvaram 154 milhões de vidas só nos últimos 50 anos, mas as ações de Robert F. Kennedy Jr trazem uma perspectiva assustadora de um retorno à era pré-vacinas
Vaccines saved 154 million lives. But as fear of disease fades, so does protection – raising the chilling prospect of a return to the pre-vaccine era.
From spring 2025, pregnant women will no longer be eligible for free COVID vaccines in the UK.
New study finds a large increase in food allergies in young children since 2008.
Being able to access a COVID booster on the NHS is important for protecting those who are most vulnerable from COVID.
Hay varias teorías populares para explicar por qué estamos viendo actualmente niveles muy altos de virus respiratorios, pero no tienen base científica.
A couple of theories are popular for explaining why we’re currently seeing very high levels of respiratory viruses, but they’re not based in science.
These types of vaccines could offer certain advantages over conventional COVID shots. But we need more data to show us they’re effective.
Though COVID is mild for most children, it can be serious for some. Where we have safe and effective vaccines, there’s no sense in not rolling them out.
Is it time for a new generation of COVID vaccines? Here’s where the research is at.
In the two years since COVID was declared a pandemic, vaccines and treatments have been rapidly developed – yet millions worldwide have died.
Having a range of immune cells that target different parts of the virus appears to make disease milder and could protect against future variants.
Governments are launching booster programmes over fears about waning immunity levels, but vaccines are still highly effective at what matters most – preventing severe disease.
If immunity is waning or ineffectual against new variants, then boosters could be needed – but there needs to be evidence that they’re necessary.
Long-term protection will depend on the ‘memory response’ developed by our immune systems – and the initial signs are promising.
Les niveaux d’anticorps diminuent naturellement – la question clé est de savoir si les personnes infectées maintiennent des niveaux adéquats de cellules T et de cellules B.
Antibody levels naturally fade – the key question is whether infected people sustain adequate levels of T cells and B cells.
Las informaciones sobre reinfecciones no deberían ser motivo de alarma. Si reunimos los datos correctos, pueden enseñarnos mucho sobre la respuesta inmunológica.
Reports of reinfection shouldn’t be cause for alarm. If we gather the right data, they can teach us a lot about the immune response.
Bien que de nombreux facteurs font augmenter les risques de développer une forme grave de la maladie, l’inflammation explique pourquoi certaines personnes vulnérables tombent si malades.
Abnormal functioning of the immune system is what characterises severe COVID, and can be driven by diabetes, obesity, sex and age.
Tampaknya vaksin COVID-19 yang juga akan melindungi kita dari SARS, MERS dan beberapa jenis flu biasa masih belum mungkin ditemukan dalam waktu dekat.
