NewsImmune molecules play a limited role in ALS progression
New research indicates that immune-related molecules change in motor neurons affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but they do not appear to be major drivers of disease progression.

NewsPregnancy increases immune burden on women with arthritis and lupus
New research finds that the immune system of women with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus react very differently to pregnancy: rheumatoid arthritis patients often experience an improvement in symptoms, while lupus patients have an elevated risk of deterioration.

NewsSteroids reduce inflammation in chronic mycobacterial lung infections without limiting antimicrobial defence
Researchers have shown that dexamethasone, a commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory steroid, can reduce harmful inflammation triggered by Mycobacterium avium without weakening the ability of human immune cells to control the infection.

NewsLab identifies gap in malaria vaccines, added peptides can strengthen response
The two vaccines in use today rally the immune system against a single region of the malaria parasite. A new study finds that adding short peptides for two overlooked regions broadens the response and strengthens protection.
