Scientists Reprogram Brain Immune Cells To Fight Alzheimer's: Study
According to the study published by Sciencedaily, OLE helps microglia surround and contain beta-amyloid plaques, reducing both their size and their harmful effects. In animal studies, the treatment also led to better performance on memory tests.

Doctor Explains How Pregnancy Impacts The Immune System Of Expecting Mothers
The immune system during pregnancy is not simply weaker or stronger. Instead, it becomes specially adapted to protect both the mother and the developing baby. This carefully balanced adjustment allows the body to fight infections while also accepting the foetus.

7 Easy Ways To Test If Your Body Is Dealing With Acute Inflammation
One of the most common signs of inflammation is localised redness. Increased blood flow to an injured or infected area causes the skin to appear red or flushed.

Killing Cancer Requires Immune Cells To Infiltrate Tumours' Hostile Microenvironment - Sugar Shields Can Help Them Break In
Cancers don't just passively exist in the body. They create an ecosystem of other cells and components that actively controls what gets in, what they can do and how long they last.

Do Smokers In Workplace Fall Sick More Frequently Than Non-Smokers? Doctor Answers
One of the first areas affected by smoking is the respiratory tract. Smoking damages and weakens these protective structures. This increases the risk of repeated respiratory illnesses such as coughs, colds, bronchitis, sinus infections, and pneumonia.

Unexpected Immune System Mechanism Found To Attack Cancer, Scientists Reveal
Many modern cancer treatments, including immunotherapy, depend on activating killer T cells to recognise and destroy tumours.

Study Identifies Two Distinct Subtypes Of Autism
A study identifies two autism subtypes: one with reduced brain connectivity linked to synaptic pathways, another with increased connectivity tied to immune systems.

Doctor Explains How Mother's Colostrum Builds Immunity In Her Child
Colostrum acts as the baby's first natural vaccination, helping its body to learn how to deal with infections in a safer manner. The World Health Organization (WHO) also states that breastfeeding within the first hour after birth reduces the likeliho

Changes In Body Fat Due To Obesity Can Contribute To Alzheimer's Disease: Study
In the brain, the PE particles disrupt communication between neurons, weaken immune system and promote buildup of amyloid proteins, which are naturally present but condense into clumps in Alzheimer's disease.

HIV Study: Boosting Immune Cells May Help Fight Infection
Scientists are tweaking a powerful cancer therapy in hopes it could fight HIV instead, by supercharging patients' own immune cells.

Prevention Of Invasive Fungal Infections (IFI): Simple Steps To Stay Protected
Preventing invasive fungal infections starts with managing the conditions that make a person vulnerable in the first place. For people with diabetes, keeping blood sugar levels well controlled is one of the most important things they can do.

Are Nasal Vaccines The Future? Scientists Explain The Rise of Needle-Free Immunisation
Nasal vaccines represent a promising shift in how we prevent infectious diseases. By building immunity at the body's first line of defence, they could stop infections before they begin, reduce transmission, and complement traditional vaccines.

World Immunisation Week: Here's Why Some People Have Fever After Getting A Vaccine
Fever is a normal and very common reaction after receiving a vaccination. However, not every individual will have a fever, and that is also very common.

Calcium In Immune Cells May Trigger Anxiety Behaviours, Study Suggests
A study in mice links calcium signalling in microglia, the brain's immune cells, to anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours, offering new treatment insights.

DNA Mutations In Immune Cells May Be Driving Autoimmune Diseases, Study Finds
A new Nature study suggests DNA mutations in immune cells may drive autoimmune diseases by removing immune system brakes, offering clues for targeted treatments.
