A new study explains how Lymph node structural cells controls human immune responses
What’s new? When we study the immune system it is mainly about the immune cells specifically T and B and other white blood cells. But a new study sheds light on Fibroblastic Reticular Cells (FRCs) which are the structural cells supporting immune cells and are present in lymph nodes. A recent research from the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute demonstrated how…

Scientist Discovered New Gene Affecting Immune Response
A new study led by the team of researchers from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO have found a new gene which controls the immune response of the body against infection and diseases. During their study, researchers found that there is a gene called C6 which regulates the production of proteins which leads to infectious disease, cancer, and diabetes. This gene…

New Approach To Stop HIV Transmission Using Vaginal Implant Tool
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus which attacks the body’s immune system and destroys certain T cells called CD4+ which is one of the important immune cells of the body. In a University of Waterloo, scientists have developed a new tool which is a vaginal implant to protect women from HIV infection. Unlike other methods of HIV prevention like anti-HIV…

Bacteria May Stimulate Pancreatic Cancer by Inhibiting Immune System
In a new study, scientists discovered that bacteria suppress the immune system which in turn promotes pancreatic cancer. The research proposes that targeting the microbiome may make immunotherapy effective against pancreatic cancer. In many types of cancer like liver and colorectal cancer, gut microbiome is studied and it has been observed that it affects the development of cancer. The gut…

Helpful B cells Assisting Neurons in Their Development
A new study led by researchers at Osaka University has added an surprising information about neuron development presenting that immune cells may play a key role in helping myelin to form around the newly minted neuron. This study was published in Nature Neuroscience. Neurons are basic unit of the nervous system which are the specialized cells that communicate using electrical signals. Every…
