1976 results for "immune disorders"
Scientists discovered that ruxolitinib, a medication for blood disorders, helps the body fight malaria more effectively and build stronger immunity. The breakthrough could save lives among the 600,000 people, mostly young children, who die from malaria each year.
A groundbreaking medical center in Canberra is using personalized genetic analysis to treat complex immune diseases, giving patients years of healthy life they never expected. One father went from wheelchair-bound to climbing ladders after doctors identified his disease's root cause.
Scientists discovered axolotls can completely regenerate their thymus, a complex immune organ that humans can't rebuild. The breakthrough could one day help reverse immune aging in people.
Scientists are launching a groundbreaking trial to rejuvenate exhausted immune cells in older adults and people with chronic diseases. The therapy could help immune systems function like they're young again.
Scientists discovered how Parkinson's travels from the gut to the brain through immune cells, opening the door to catching the disease decades before symptoms appear. In mice, reducing these immune cells stopped the toxic proteins from spreading and improved movement problems.
A 19-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., became the first Canadian cured of a life-threatening immune disease using groundbreaking gene editing technology. His doctor says he no longer needs to worry about deadly infections sneaking past his weakened immune system.
Researchers are developing better ways to identify developmental language disorder in multilingual children, a condition that affects 8% of kids worldwide but often goes undetected. New assessment tools can now distinguish between normal language learning and a disorder that needs treatment.
Researchers discovered specialized immune sentinel cells inside hair follicles that help skin detect threats. This finding reveals how our skin actively monitors dangers despite its thick, protective layers.
Researchers at UT Southwestern discovered how two lipids work with a crucial protein to activate the immune system, opening new paths to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. The breakthrough explains a long-standing mystery about how our bodies fight threats.
Researchers discovered that restoring thymus function could reverse immune decline in older adults. The breakthrough offers hope for better vaccines and cancer treatments for aging populations.
Scientists discovered that friendly gut bacteria can inject proteins directly into human cells, actively controlling immune responses. This breakthrough explains how the microbiome influences conditions like Crohn's disease.
One in three people carry a brain parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, yet most never get sick. Scientists just discovered why: your immune cells have a built-in self-destruct switch that takes the invader down with them.
Researchers discovered how a vital protein acts as a "traffic controller" for our immune system and how a common virus learned to disable it. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for autoimmune diseases by mimicking the virus's own tactics.
Scientists are launching a groundbreaking trial to rejuvenate tired immune cells in older adults, potentially turning back the biological clock on aging. The experimental therapy could help people fight disease as effectively at 70 as they did at 30.
Researchers discovered that blocking a "death protein" keeps blood stem cells healthier and stronger as they age. The breakthrough could lead to new ways to maintain a youthful immune system.
Princeton now offers specialized eating disorder care through a new collaboration that brings together expert teams. The program provides intensive support for people who need more than weekly appointments but don't require hospital stays.
Scientists explain why vaccines work like athletic training for your immune cells, preparing them to fight disease before you ever get sick. As measles outbreaks return to previously protected countries, understanding this science matters more than ever.
Scientists in South Korea discovered a drug ingredient that primes the immune system to fight deadly infections before they strike. When mice received this treatment one day before exposure, they survived infections that killed every untreated animal.
A Queensland couple who helped their own daughters survive eating disorders just opened Australia's first recovery village with eight tiny homes for people transitioning back to everyday life. The village will support 60 families each year, filling a critical gap between hospital care and going home.
Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a way to "train" immune cells to fight deadly superbugs like MRSA and tuberculosis without using antibiotics. The breakthrough could help people most vulnerable to infections fight back when traditional medicines fail.
