World first discovery of spleen function could lead to better treatments for infectious diseases
World first discovery of spleen function could lead to better treatments for infectious diseases: Researchers at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) have discovered a new gene that plays an important role in the way the spleen functions, potentially leading to new treatments for infectious diseases. The study, published in Science Immunology, also […]

Warning of vitamin B12 deficiency
Researchers call for action on vitamin B12 deficiency for people following plant-based diets. During Veganuary, leading researchers are warning of the dangers of a quiet epidemic of vitamin B12 deficiency in people who follow increasingly popular plant-based diets. Plant-based diets (vegetarian or vegan) are becoming significantly more popular as people look to adopt a diet […]

T cells a key defence against Omicron
T cells a key defence against Omicron: Research from the University of Melbourne and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has revealed T cells, one of the body’s key defences against COVID-19, are expected to be effective in mounting an immune response against Omicron despite its significantly higher mutations compared to previous variants of concern. T cells, generated both by […]
