Coronavirus hijacks immune cells to create cytokine storms, says new study
Scientists continue to be baffled by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), especially how it “hijacks” certain cells of the body. A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai suggests that SARS-CoV-2 – the coronavirus strain behind the current pandemic – can inhibit one virus-fighting set of genes but allow another set to launch – a […]

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Interferons and the immune system: Can this therapeutic strategy address viral infection and strengthen immunity against cancer?
Healthcare professionals use different methods to fight cancer and viral infections. However, a team led by researchers from Wake Forest University in North Carolina recently reported a potential therapeutic strategy that may help fight both. In a study published in the journal Cell, the researchers discovered that reducing lactate, a product of glucose breakdown, increases the production of type 1 interferons (IFN). Type […]

It turns out, viruses “mingle” with each other to escape the immune system
Spanish researchers found that viruses can slip through the natural defenses of the body with the help of other pathogens. The altruistic behavior of these disease-bearing microorganisms ensures that some of them will survive and gain resistance to immune responses. Institute of Integrated Systems Biology (I²SysBio) researcher Pilar Domingo-Calap served as the lead author. Ernesto Segredo, […]
