The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new type of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that could one day serve as a universal immunotherapy for cancers that form solid tumors, including ...

As populations age worldwide, the decline of the immune system, a process known as immunosenescence, has become a critical biomedical challenge. This decline leads to increased susceptibility to ...

How people with compromised immune systems respond to vaccines is an important area of immunological research. A study led by York University has found that not only could machine-learning models ...

Machine-learning models accurately pinpointed differences in immune responses in healthy controls and those living with HIV.

Cigarette smoking is prevalent worldwide and causes numerous diseases, yet our understanding of how cigarette smoke (CS) causes serious respiratory illnesses is incomplete, and has held back the ...

Researchers developed DoriVac, a DNA origami-based vaccine platform that precisely arranges antigens and adjuvants to enhance ...

The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced. When flu season hits or stress runs high, you’ll often hear advice on how to “boost” your immune system.

Your immune system is like an incredibly sophisticated security team, constantly patrolling your body for threats and neutralizing them before they can cause harm. When it’s working properly, this ...
