Researchers have identified almost 100 unique genes that play an important role in immune diseases which could help lead to new treatments for conditions such as asthma, multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute conducted the first in-depth analysis of how genetic variants involved in immune diseases affect the function […]
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have uncovered biological processes key to regulating immune cells that can cause allergic reactions unless closely controlled, which they hope could help expose what goes wrong when the body develops allergies or goes into anaphylaxis. Background IgE antibodies are present at very low numbers in the immune system, and unlike […]
A team of researchers has found disrupting the interaction between cancer cells and certain immune cells is more effective at killing cancer cells than current immunotherapy treatments. The findings, which include studies in cell lines and animal models, appeared in JCI Insight and focus on a protein called CD6 as a target for a new […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how our small genetic differences can have a tremendous effect on how our bodies respond to disease. “The difference is within us,” said Vivek Chandra, an instructor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). “We can get infected by the same bacteria or viruses, but the ways our diseases progress […]
