11, 2024 — Investigators who previously found that a daily statin pill helps prevent heart attacks and strokes ... among people living with HIV who didn't respond to prior ...
After HIV intercepts the immune system's DNA, it targets CD4 cells. White blood cells called CD4 cells, sometimes referred to as T-helper cells or T cells, are essential for immunological activity.
The findings could lead to more precise engineering of CAR-T cells, allowing them to attack cancer more effectively while potentially alleviating some of the side-effects of the therapy ...
The scientists used data from the LJI-led Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) to identify exactly how human T cells attack key proteins (epitopes) on seasonal flu viruses. They then developed a ...
Here, Olari et al show that alpha-synuclein enhances HIV-1 entry and replication in human T cells, macrophages and microglia which may contribute to the development of neurodegenerative disease.
Stages of HIV Infection The stages of infection from person to person vary slightly, both in severity and the speed of progression. These stages map the depletion of CD4 T-cells and other evidence of ...
Jan. 28, 2025 — A team of stem cell scientists have successfully used embryonic stem cell engineering to create a bi-paternal mouse -- a mouse with two male parents -- that lived until adulthood.
Intense global research is now exploring the clinical potential of CAR T-cell therapies beyond blood cancers, with therapies in development targeting solid tumours, autoimmune diseases, and infectious ...
T lymphocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells) are two types of white blood cells that perform immune functions in the lymphatic system. B-cells produce antibodies to attack bacteria and viruses ...
