Personalized medicine is a promising treatment for recurrent cancer and superbugs, but it is labour-intensive and expensive, and pathways for its regulatory approval and reimbursement are complicated.
Infection seems to add a boost to immunity – but vaccination is still vital and breakthrough infections should be avoided as much as possible.
Omicron may be able to dodge antibodies, but it is no match for our killer T-cells.
Cell-mediated immunity is particularly effective at eradicating viruses, and more durable. This is important in the fight against COVID-19.
With vaccine shortages looming, experts are debating whether it is important to receive two doses or whether it’s better to give one dose to more people and give a second when the supply is better.
Older coronavirus patients face grimmer outlooks. A virologist explains the aging-related changes in how immune systems work that are to blame.
Researchers discover clues to the origin of inflammatory bowel disease and a possible strategy for treatment.
Researchers from Oregon Health and Science University found that variations in genes that code for parts of the cellular alarm system might play a role in how well people fight off COVID-19.
Different demographics are more or less vulnerable to serious complications from the coronavirus. A virologist explains the aging-related changes in how immune systems work that are to blame.
There are more effective ways to give the tuberculosis vaccine.
Peter Doherty’s Nobel Prize-winning insights proved crucial for understanding how viral infections are controlled.
