The incidence of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in Kenya isn’t known, but new information is emerging to shed light on its prevalence.
The facial tumour cells that threaten the Tasmanian devils may use a sort of molecular shield to protect them from the animal’s immune system.
Researchers are learning how HIV hides from the immune system to develop a new generation of vaccines for seemingly unrelated diseases, like the flu.
In pregnancy, immune cells help the uterus tolerate and nurture the embryo despite it carrying foreign genes from the father. In most women, suppressing immunity will likely cause more harm than good.
The first experiment to demonstrate that an enriched environment can boost the function of some immune cells.
Peter Doherty’s Nobel Prize-winning insights proved crucial for understanding how viral infections are controlled.
Why it’s important to fund blue-skies research.
And the good news is that the treatments may already exist.
Scientists are making the terrifying useful.
A pregnant woman’s immune response may be a risk factor for some neurological conditions like autism and schizophrenia in the baby later on.
Working out is always good for you – until it’s not.
Stay away from viruses in the early morning – and in winter.
New evidence suggests that opioids cause the immune system to run amok and, surprisingly, increase pain. Does this mean that opioids might be contributing to the chronic pain epidemic?
Public health experts enlist the molecular biology tools that create genetically modified organisms – as well as the GMOs themselves – in the fight against emerging infectious diseases.
Scientists have found proteins in the body that promote lung inflammation which helps the bacteria that causes TB to spread throughout the lung.
It can take the body up to three weeks to fully recover from the strain of running a marathon, so here’s some foods that are scientifically proven to help aid recovery.
Several indigenous child-rearing practices have helped babies develop strong immune systems to ward off allergies. These should be actively promoted.
New research has found children who are born with overly active immune cells are more likely to develop allergies to milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat and other common foods.
Being too clean isn’t what’s making us sick. It’s the loss of biodiversity in the bacteria and organisms that live in our bodies and work with the immune system.
