How a virus transforms immune cells into leukaemia uncovered by researchers: An international team have mapped how the HTLV-1 virus causes a rare leukaemia in some people, providing clues on how to stop it happening. The team, led by Imperial College London and Kumamoto University in Japan, used single-cell analysis to show how the virus […]

Prompt initiation of antiretroviral therapy reduces cancer risk in HIV patients: HIV patients have an increased risk of developing skin and mucosal cancers, even though HIV is no longer detectable in their blood due to antiretroviral therapy. A new study by MedUni Vienna’s Department of Dermatology, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases […]

Cellular immunity to SARS-CoV-2 found at six months in non-hospitalised individuals: Cellular (T cell) immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is likely to be present within most adults six months after primary infection, a new pre-print on bioRxiv suggests. The research from Public Health England and the UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium (UK-CIC) demonstrates robust T cell responses to […]
Australian scientists shed light on antibacterial superhero inside our cells. Researchers have made a key discovery on a critical arm of the immune system’s powerful defence against bacteria that will contribute to global efforts to design immune-boosting treatments. Bacteria pose persistent threats to human health. To combat this, inside each of our cells is a […]
