Researchers from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute have discovered a new way to improve response to immunotherapies in mice for the treatment of tumours. Co-authors of the study, Associate Professor Fiona Pixley and Jay Steer from UWA’s School of Biomedical Sciences, discovered that isolating a specific molecule present…

Study Finds Stress Accelerates Immune Aging, Increases Risk of Cancer and Infection
A study found that experiencing stress in the form of trauma, chronic stress, acute stress, and discrimination accelerated the aging of the immune system, leading to a weakened immune system that is more prone to infections and at a greater risk of developing cancer and other diseases. The researchers found that stress such as chronic…
T Cells Need to ‘Relax’ to Work Best
T cells need to “relax” to protect people from diseases, according to a new study. Like finding that needle in the haystack every time, your T cells manage what seems like an improbable task: quickly finding a few invaders among the many imposters in your body to trigger its immune response. The new study suggests that…
New Clues Suggest How Autoimmune Diseases Begin
New research in mice may upend current ideas about how autoimmune diseases get started. After cancer and heart disease, the most common group of diseases in the US are autoimmune diseases, which occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own organs, tissues, and cells. Autoimmune diseases can affect just about any part of…
T Cells May Reveal Why Women Get Severe Covid Less Than Men
New research may reveal why women get severe COVID-19 at about half the rate as men. Women have more of a certain type of immune cell that fights infections in mucosal tissue, and these immune cells amass in the lungs, poised to attack the COVID virus, according to a new study. “Better armed with these…
T-cells: The Superheroes in the Battle Against Omicron
Omicron is spreading rapidly throughout the world, with experts claiming that 40% of the global population will be infected within the next two months. This sounds quite startling, but we still don’t really know whether omicron causes more severe disease than other variants of concern. The signs so far are good, though. With the previous…
T Cells From Common Colds Cross-Protect Against Infection With COVID-19: Study
A type of cells produced by the body when fighting common cold viruses cross-protect people against infection with the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study published Monday. T cells have been recognized as a measure of protection against severe COVID-19 and previous research indicated that recovery from common colds may provide some level…
T Cells Generated From Vaccination or Prior COVID-19 Infection Protect Against Omicron Variant: Studies
Two new studies released this week have suggested that the T cell response generated by vaccination or from previous COVID-19 infection may provide sufficient protection against the Omicron variant of the virus. T cells are a type of white blood cell that is an essential part of the adaptive immune system. They work to eliminate infected cells…
