ALS may be linked to the immune system, which could explain differences in survival and open doors for new treatments.
A new study by researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, working with colleagues at Columbia University in New York, documents how the immune system functions differently in patients with amytrophic lateral sclerosis,
A research team led by Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) member Hua Wang has published new research detailing a new mRNA cancer vaccine platform. The study introduces an immune cell homing hydrogel-based platform designed to overcome one of the biggest hurdles in conventional mRNA cancer vaccines: the extremely low efficiency of antigen-encoded mRNAs being processed by the right type of immune cells in the body.

Polymer scaffold can self-assemble in tissue to deliver multiple vaccine components over time
Sometimes, the best way to achieve a big outcome is to start small. That principle is at the center of new work from a University of Virginia researcher who specializes in nanotechnology and controlled delivery of medical treatments.
As it does with other pathogens, your immune system sees drugs as foreign invaders to be expelled from your body. But exploiting this process could reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
Around 5,000 Americans are diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. About half of patients die within 14 to 18 months of being diagnosed, usually due to breathing failure. The exact cause of ALS has long been unknown.
Scientists have developed a smarter way to activate the immune system against cancer, potentially making treatments safer and more precise. The research focuses on a powerful pathway inside our cells known as STING. When triggered, STING acts like an ...
Scientists find breast milk antibodies influence infant immune responses long-term, offering insights for future formula enhancements.
There are vaccines you can get to prevent illness and medicine you can take to treat it. But in between, eating foods that boost immunity can help keep your immune system strong and functioning optimally. Indeed, food fuels your immune system by helping it ...
