In two independent studies, scientists at the University of Basel have demonstrated that both the structure of the brain and several memory functions are linked to immune system genes. The scientific ...

New research by Malaghan's Connor Laboratory, published in PNAS, shows how directing the immune system toward conserved areas ...

A vaccine's molecular structure plays a key role in determining how the immune system responds and prepares to protect the body from future exposure to a specific pathogen. To develop a vaccine that ...

For decades, scientists assumed that the brain and the immune system did not communicate. A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine (WashU Medicine) in St. Louis has now ...

Resurrected lactoferricin peptides show how a few amino-acid changes transformed an ancient immune defense.

In mouse skull marrow, 'immune hubs' that actively defend the brain have been discovered. Similar cells exist in human skulls, but their role remains unclear.

In our fast-paced world, convenience can often come at the cost of nutrition. This shift has led to an increased reliance on ultra-processed foods. But diets high in ultra-processed foods are ...
