Viruses have spent billions of years perfecting the art of invading cells, hijacking their machinery and spreading with ...

Study shows certain CD8+ immune cells are far more active in the nervous system of people with multiple sclerosis. Some ...

A model showing proteins called death fold domains (green) telling a caspase enzyme (blue) to kill the cell after it has been compromised by pathogens. The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

A common flu virus could be used to overcome patients' resistance to certain cancer drugs -- and improve how those drugs kill cancer cells, according to new research from Queen Mary University of ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple ...

That leads scientists to believe that the Zika virus can function as a complementary treatment for glioblastoma. The Zika virus is considered riskiest for pregnant women, since it can infect ...

Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have uncovered a new mechanism by which the body’s immune system responds to viral infections, a finding that can potentially be harnessed to attack cancer. The ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly one million ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...
