How our immune cells can be trained to fight infections ​ By IANS | ​ 0 Views Coronavirus.. Image Source: IANS News New York, June 27 : The human bodys immune cells naturally fight off viral and bacterial microbes and other invaders, but they can also be reprogrammed or "trained" to respond even more aggressively and potently to such threats, say scientists who have discovered the fundamental rule underlying this process in a particular class of cells. Researchers from the University of C...

Researchers from the University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) identified a key molecular mechanism within macrophages -- infection-fighting cells of the innate immune system -- that determines whether and how well the cells can be trained.

The body's immune cells naturally fight off viral and bacterial microbes and other invaders, but they can also be reprogrammed or "trained" to respond even more aggressively and potently to such threats, report UCLA scientists who have discovered the fundamental rule underlying this process in a particular class of cells.

Researchers identify six “words” used by specific immune cells to call up immune defense genes UCLA life scientists have identified six "words" that specific immune cells use to call up immune defense genes -- an important step toward understanding the language the body uses to marshal responses to threats. In addition, they discovered that the incorrect use of two of these words can activate the wrong genes, resulting in the autoimmune disease known as Sjögrens syndrome. The research, con...

Dov Waxman, professor of Israel studies at UCLA and author of several books about the conflict, said there were early and clear signs that Israelis and Palestinians were headed to calamity. “What [Biden] wanted to do was signal this was not a priority and move slowly and cautiously while dealing with a compli...

The advance, researchers say, is like the cellular equivalent of discovering the Rosetta stone and may eventually lead to new treatments for diseases.
