Investigators have uncovered new details about the role of a protein called interferon regulatory factor (IRF1) in cancer progression and treatment response, offering new insight that can potentially help improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy.

An “unconventional” immune response recently identified by scientists is a potential new pathway for developing new vaccines for tuberculosis.

A new study explores how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) impacts the immune system, revealing that immune cell populations were affected across reproductive, metabolic and immunological tissues in different ways.

Researchers clarify the role of an elusive angiocrine factor in the tumor microenvironment and its effect on cancer stem cells. Further research will serve as a stepping stone to effective therapies for drug-resistant cancer.

A mouse model was used to investigate the potential of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a treatment for allergic asthma, a subtype of asthma triggered by allergies, and understand some of the underlying mechanisms.

Last month a story about a 62-year-old male made headlines after he claimed to have received 217 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. Scientists invited the individual for tests to investigate what happens in the body of a hypervaccinated individual.

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare and difficult to treat. Machine-learning tools designed at Stanford Medicine uncover distinct cellular communities that correlate with prognosis, immunotherapy success.

Scientists have found that while a protein called FOXL2 plays a role in embryonic development, it regulates the activity of many more genes after birth.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have performed the most comprehensive analysis to date of cancer of the ureters or the urine-collection cavities in the kidney, known as upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

The trillions of bacteria that call your body home — collectively known as the microbiome — appear to be unique to you, like a fingerprint.
