Interferons (IFNs) initiate antiviral defence when infected cells sense a virus protecting against infection via JAK/STAT signaling, but can hinder recovery by impairing tissue repair by an unknown me...

Ever wonder why some people get really bad colds and others never get sick? Modeling the cells in human noses and lungs suggests an answer.

Based on two waves of data collection from 748 households in Hong Kong, this analysis sheds light on the number of transmission events that occurred before manifestation of symptoms in influenza A and...

Rhinoviruses really nose how to change cells...

Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of common colds and also a major cause of respiratory distress in high-risk groups. Using single-cell sequencing of rhinovirus-infected nasal epithelial organo...

Efficient DNA repair might make possible the longevity of naked mole-rats. However, whether they have distinctive mechanisms to optimize functions of DNA repair suppressors is unclear. We find that naked mole-rat cyclic guanosine monophosphate–adenosine ...

A central challenge in defending mucosal barriers is protecting against pathogens while also limiting excessive inflammation. Respiratory viruses are …

These results demonstrate the utility of a nasopharyngeal biomarker to rule out respiratory infection, with potential applications in outbreak management and/or routine screening in high-risk settings...

So far, the only people to come down with bird flu got it from animals. Dr. Jon LaPook reports on how research is underway to keep bird flu from mutating into a form that could spread from person to p...

Repression of STING expression in neutrophils and T lymphocytes is required for immune homeostasis and tumor response.

American universities have given the country prosperity and security. The Trump administration’s attack on academic freedom endangers all of that.

Biomedical research impacts all of us. I became curious about how drugs work after my mom was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I was a small boy. She received “gold shots” as treatment, which ...

PGD2 released after NAIP-NLRC4 inflammasome activation in tuft cells signals onto ILC3s and mediates host defense mechanisms against Salmonella Typhimurium

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

H5N1 strain-specific antibodies are higher in older individuals and correlate more with birth year than with age, suggesting that younger individuals are potentially more likely to benefit from H5N1 v...

A third state is now part of the growing measles outbreak in the U.S.
