Consuming one ounce of peanuts or adding one teaspoon of herbs and spices to your daily diet has a positive impact on the health of your gut bacteria and improves immune function.
Activating TREM2 on microglia in the brains of those with Alzheimer's could help slow down the progression of the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers have identified two new genes, ATP8B4 and ABCA1, that are implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The genes impact the brain's immune system and cholesterol processing, leading to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
80% of patients with multiple sclerosis remain disease-free for the long term following an autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
UV light from sunbathing and mosquito-borne diseases activate NLRP1 through p38, triggering skin inflammation.
Deletion of the neurodegenerative disease associated microglial gene CX3CR1 aggravated the disease state and increased the accumulation of plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Deficiencies of the gene also impaired the movement of microglia toward the plaques.
Those with pre-existing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and distress caused by loneliness are at 50% increased risk of developing Long-COVID following coronavirus infection.
Study reveals gender-specific differences in the dopamine-regulated signaling pathways in B-cells, concluding dopamine may have a pro-inflammatory effect in female rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Bubonic plague, or the "Black Death" placed significantly selective pressure on humans, changing the frequency of certain immune-related genes and affecting our susceptibility to modern diseases.
Brain cells exposed to blood taken from COVID-19 patients with delirium showed a decrease in neurogenesis and an increase in cell death. The findings also indicate a key role for cytokines produced in the immune system during infection and shed light on the molecular mechanisms of COVID-19 related delirium.
Postbiotics with a morning coffee can help give your immune system a boost, a new study reveals.
Study finds the immune system may benefit from a measure of stress.
