A new study has found there are no adverse long-term cardiovascular health consequences for the now-adult children of mothers who were given corticosteroids.

Research has found that therapeutic phages can be detected by epithelial cells of the human respiratory tract and elicit an immune response. These findings suggest that human–host interactions should be a key factor when designing phage therapies.

Genetic technologies like CRISPR have become an integral tool for strategies to control infectious diseases spread by living organisms like kissing bugs.

Mount Sinai researchers have revealed the biological mechanisms by which a family of proteins known as histone deacetylases (HDACs) activate immune system cells linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other inflammatory diseases.

Yale researchers say that nasal application of neomycin shows promise in the prevention and treatment of respiratory viral infections.

Plant-derived nanoparticles, including those from rice bran, could be used as alternatives to traditional cancer treatments.

A new study has found that aspirin may help to prevent the development and progression of colorectal cancer by boosting certain aspects of the body’s immune response against cancer cells.

Traumatic brain injuries come with an amplified risk for developing dementia, but a new therapeutic target and a potential immunotherapy have been identified.

A new study offers an explanation and suggests a more effective approach to treatment of epilepsy. They found a previously overlooked region of the hippocampus, the fasciola cinereum, appears to be involved in instigating and propagating seizures.

In a first-of-its-kind clinical trial, researchers found that intravenous therapies made from virus-specific T-cells (VST) can effectively treat immunocompromised pediatric patients, far surpassing the current standard of care.
