Scientists in the laboratory of Weiguo Cui, Ph.D., professor of Pathology in the Division of Experimental Pathology, have identified novel molecular mechanisms that help specialized T-cells maintain ...

A mechanism of antiviral immunity in bacteria has been characterized. A research team from Umeå University (Sweden) has uncovered a mechanism for how bacteria build up antiviral immunity against ...

Researchers found a molecular mechanism, shared in cancer and pregnancy, that suppresses the immune system. Block this mechanism, called B7-H4, and the immune system revs up to slow cancer's growth.

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

In chronic hepatitis B, the liver contains immune cells that could destroy hepatitis B virus infected cells but are inactive. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that ...

Inhibiting the herpes simplex virus type 1 viral enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase reactivates the natural defense protein apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-1 (APOBEC1) in the ...

Malaria remains a major global health concern. Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended two vaccines for use in children who live in areas with moderate to high malaria transmission: ...

It's perfect to get this in before you take a day to rest and let your immune system build up to turbo-mode.

As medical students face the 2026 microbiology exam cycle, the focus has shifted from memorizing isolated bacterial facts to recognizing high-yield lab patterns and understanding the mechanistic ...
