Natural killer cells remember and effectively target ovarian cancer
Researchers have uncovered a unique ability of a special subtype of natural killer cells in the immune system, called adaptive NK cells, to remember ovarian tumors and effectively attack them. The discovery could pave the way for new, more powerful immunotherapies for difficult-to-treat cancers.
PEPITEM sequence shows effects in psoriasis, comparable to steroid cream
Scientists have shown that a sequence of just three amino acids may reduce the severity of psoriasis, when applied topically in an emollient cream.
Surgery doesn’t always help with chronic rhinosinusitis — a new risk score predicts treatment...
A new CT-scan based risk score facilitates the identification of patients at risk of revision endoscopic sinus surgery due to chronic rhinosinusitis.
Researchers find intestinal immune cell prevents food allergies
Researchers found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically...
Understanding the immune response to a persistent pathogen
Researchers show that the immune system can recognize and control the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a finding that can inform the study of latency in other infections of the nervous system.
New treatment option for psoriasis discovered
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases, affecting around 250,000 people in Austria. While previous treatment approaches have mainly focused on inhibiting pro-inflammatory immune cells, a study shows that it is possible to restore the function of certain anti-inflammatory immune cells in a targeted manner. The results pave the way for the development of a therapy that not only works more precisely but is also associated with fewer side effects.
Bottling a mouse ’superpower‘ may heal lungs damaged by premature birth
Using a four-dimensional microscopy technique, researchers have created 3D video images of mouse lung tissue grown in the laboratory. What they have learned has been nothing short of groundbreaking.
Stopping asthma in its tracks
New therapeutic 'cocktails' may provide long-lasting relief for treatment-resistant asthma and other immune system inflammatory diseases.
Eating gradually increasing doses of peanut butter enables children with high-threshold allergy to safely...
Findings suggest a safe, inexpensive, and effective pathway for allergists to treat children who already tolerate at least half a peanut.

Nasal spray shows preclinical promise for treating traumatic brain injury
A new study suggests a nasal spray developed to target neuroinflammation could one day be an effective treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI). By studying the effects of the nasal anti-CD3 in a mouse model of TBI, researchers found the spray could reduce damage to the central nervous system and behavioral deficits, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for TBI and other acute forms of brain injury.
