Scientists have discovered that parasites associated with leprosy can reprogram cells to increase the size of a liver in adult animals without causing damage, scarring or tumors.

Researchers have discovered how obstructive sleep apnea changes the profiles of immune cells in the blood, leading to a unique cellular signature that can accurately detect obstructive sleep apnea in children.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) appears to be driven into a latent state by an immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections.

A newly-discovered electrical communications network between breast cancer cells that helps cells decide when to grow and spread could be a future target for cancer treatments.

Researchers have identified that increased levels of an immune modulator in the lungs as we age contributes to the loss of macrophages that protect us from the flu, making older people more susceptible.
