Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures that have emerged as critical mediators in the complex interplay between fungal pathogens and their hosts. These vesicles, which carry ...

A team led by Prof Kiavash Movahedi (VUB, VIB) has mapped in detail how the immune system acts against pathogens invading the brain. The findings shed new light on host-pathogen interactions and the ...

In a study of lab-engineered cells, researchers identify how the immune system neutralizes the herpesvirus. The research maps, for the first time, the maneuvers used by virus and host in the cell ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers determined the cryogenic-electron microscopic (cryo-EM) structures of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA)-M4 and sigA-CD89 complexes ...

New research from UNC Charlotte's Center for Computational Intelligence to Predict Health and Environmental Risks (CIPHER) has found that the two recent and prevalent strains of the virus that cause ...

[Vienna, July 11 2024] — Researchers from the Complexity Science Hub and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna have dissected the complex interactions involved in zoonoses, which affect ...

A sugar on mycobacteria binds to the immune receptor dectin-1 on host macrophages, helping the bacteria survive and driving ...

Microbial biofilms represent one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine, industry, and environmental systems. These structured, ...

CU Boulder researcher Aaron Whiteley is recognized by the American Society for Microbiology for his work exploring bacterial immune responses and how it translates to the human immune system A ...

Researchers demonstrate that under low fluid shear force conditions that simulate those found in microgravity culture during spaceflight, the foodborne pathogen Salmonella infects 3-D models of human ...

Molly Bletz, assistant professor of disease ecology at Penn State, has been awarded a 2025 New Investigator Grant by the ...
