When something goes wrong in our bellies, we certainly feel it – and new research shows the processes through which harmful bacteria trigger pain in the gut, which clear out its contents in ...

Disarming the bacteria calmed the gut contractions—but they weren't sure how or why. The key, they show in this new research, is a type of immune cell called a macrophage. Normally, macrophages ...

Vibrio cholerae is a powerful reminder of how delicate our gut health is. While the bacteria’s effects can be painful, they ...

This study unveiled the role of Lrrk2 gene in regulating macrophage polarization and immune response. This finding provides ...

Disarming the bacteria calmed the gut contractions — but they weren’t sure how or why. The key, they show in this new research, is a type of immune cell called a macrophage. Normally ...

Surprisingly, we found that the clock ticking in the cells of the immune system was responsible for the change in response to bacterial infection. In particular, specialised cells called macrophages, ...

In vivo perturbations and single-cell RNA-seq reveal cell-type-specific STAT1-IFNg signaling in regulation of trained immunity in tissue-resident immune cells.

These cells deal with microbes and repair tissue damage. Two main sub-types of immune cells are T cells and macrophages. T cells are designed to recognise the molecular signatures of particular ...

I am also interested in the effect of influenza A virus on macrophage function, its effect on the regulation of macrophage apoptosis and how this may lead to increased susceptibility to bacterial ...
