Researchers at the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute have identified a previously unknown type of immune system memory B cell (MBC) that can cause poor antibody responses in chronic ...

One of the remaining mysteries of the human immune system is why a certain cell, called a B cell, which retains a memory for past infections -- ensuring we fight off diseases we have experienced ...

Viral exanthem (viral rash) is a skin condition that develops because of a viral infection like chickenpox, rubella, or measles. Rashes from viral infections may cause bumps or spots that itch, are ...

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells. The findings pave ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, but new research led by scientists at Penn State reveals a deliberate ...

Australian researchers have discovered a previously unknown rogue immune cell that can cause poor antibody responses in chronic viral infections. The finding, published today (9 April) in the journal, ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. After patients go into remission, there may still be undetected cancer cells lying dormant through ...
