Coating of specific sugars on some pathogens triggered a resistance effect. A set of sugars found on some disease-causing pathogens helps those pathogens fight the body’s natural defenses as well as ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the ...

Salmonella bacteria (red) cause up to a million deaths a year worldwide and there is a need for effective vaccines. New work from UC Davis shows how salmonella-specific T-cells can be stimulated to ...

The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed against Salmonella. Researchers have discovered that these bacteria ...

The complement system is a key component of innate and adaptive immunity and therefore acts as a vital defense against invading pathogens. Deficiencies in the complement system are associated with ...

In the lab, doctors can attach chemotherapy to nanoparticles that target tumors, and can use nanoparticles to enhance imaging with MRI, PET and CT scans. Unfortunately, nanoparticles look a lot like ...

Researchers at UC Davis Health have discovered a signaling mechanism that allows bacteria like Salmonella to evade destruction by the host’s immune system. Intracellular bacteria like Salmonella can ...

The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed against Salmonella. Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered that ...
