Whole-genome sequencing analysis of tumour and matched non-tumour host tissues of the brown bullhead catfish reveals a type of naturally occurring transmissible cancer.

The laboratory of Dr. Murad Mamedov at The Wistar Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow.

The authors develop red fluorescent GRAB acetylcholine (ACh) sensors and highlight rACh1h as a robust tool for multiplex recording together with various green sensors. Using fiber photometry, mesoscop...

Tuberculosis (TB) disproportionately affects low-income populations due to socioeconomic barriers. Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) are promising str…

Improved diagnostic tools for tuberculosis that are suitable for use in peripheral health centers are essential for reducing the persistent gap between estimated and notified cases. The diagnostic ...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors show that IFNγ blockade does not impair resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in macaques, opposed to what has been observed in mice, due...

The cytokine messenger proteins known as interferons are central to protective immune responses against infections, but they are also involved in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This review maps...

Ruslan Medzhitov shares his thoughts on the balance between generating data and developing theories in immunology, with a focus on exploring the rules that govern complex systems.

The 2025 Gordon Research Conference on Biology of Mycobacteria will be held in Pomona, California. Apply today to reserve your spot.

In severe cases of COVID-19, glucocorticoid treatment improves clinical outcomes. However, in non-hospitalized patients, glucocorticoids have limited benefit and may impair viral clearance. Here, we u...

Many clinically relevant pathogens enter the body through mucosal surfaces, yet conventional parenteral immunization is insufficient to elicit robust mucosal immunity. This Review examines the unique ...

Lung cancer in mice hijacks neurons to send a signal that subdues the immune system, study finds.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis , remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Meanwhile, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an increasing global health co…

The glycocalyx is best studied for its regulation of immune cell trafficking from the vasculature into inflamed tissues. The glycocalyx is composed of a range of glycans and glyco-proteins that form a...

Wang et al. find that cell membrane stress upon viral infection induces expression and stabilization of host sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3B (SMPDL3B), which, in turn, degrades cGAMP to s...
