Disparities in Allergy and Asthma Prevalence Among School Teachers
AI SummaryThis study examines the disparities in allergy and asthma prevalence among school teachers. It looks at the correlation between teachers’ health conditions and their work environment, as well as potential factors contributing to increased prevalence rates. The significance of this research lies in understanding how occupational factors may affect the health and well-being of… Continue reading Disparities in Allergy and Asthma Prevalence Among School Teachers
Long-term metastatic melanoma survival dramatically improves on immunotherapy, study finds
AI SummaryThis study highlights the significant improvement in long-term survival rates for patients with metastatic melanoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The landmark international trial showed that about half of the patients remained cancer-free for 10 years or more after treatment. This finding demonstrates the promising potential of immunotherapy in significantly improving outcomes for patients… Continue reading Long-term metastatic melanoma survival dramatically improves on immunotherapy, study finds
Monoclonal antibodies offer hope for tackling antimicrobial resistance
AI SummarySummary: Scientists believe that monoclonal antibodies, which are treatments created by cloning cells that produce antibodies, could be a promising solution for combating antimicrobial resistance.Monoclonal antibodies — treatments developed by cloning a cell that makes an antibody — could help provide an answer to the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, say scientists.
SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8+ T cells from people with long COVID establish and maintain effector phenotype and key TCR signatures over 2 years
Contradiction: Inhibiting inflammation and immunosuppression in the treatment of IBD
The telencephalon is a neuronal substrate for systemic inflammatory responses in teleosts via polyamine metabolism
The complexity of immune evasion mechanisms throughout the metastatic cascade
AI SummaryThis article discusses the immune evasion mechanisms used by cancer cells throughout the metastatic cascade. It explores how tumor cells adapt to survive in different environments encountered during metastasis, affecting organotropism. The interaction between tumor cells and the immune system is analyzed, emphasizing the creation of an immunosuppressive environment that promotes aggressive metastatic tumors.… Continue reading The complexity of immune evasion mechanisms throughout the metastatic cascade
NIH funds new research to combat emerging viruses
AI SummaryThe Albert Einstein College of Medicine has received funding from the NIH for a five-year project to develop vaccines and antibody-based therapies against emerging viruses. The project aims to build on lessons learned from COVID-19 by creating a base of critical knowledge about groups of similar viruses, allowing for the rapid development of specific… Continue reading NIH funds new research to combat emerging viruses
New insight into the causes of autoimmune diseases
AI SummaryThis article discusses a recent study that provides new insight into the causes of autoimmune diseases. Researchers have discovered that the body’s own proteins with unusual structure can trigger immune cells to attack its own tissues, leading to autoimmunity. The study found that when the MHC-II is missing a crucial piece called the invariant… Continue reading New insight into the causes of autoimmune diseases
