DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.112123 An international study led by researchers from the Infection Biology Laboratory at the UPF Department of Medicine and Life Sciences (MELIS) establishes that one type of dendritic cell is crucial for the success of immunotherapeutic treatments to control chronic viral infections. These dendritic...
by Monash University A recent study in mice has uncovered the role of a protein, called BMI-1, in chronic viral infections. Credit: Monash University Chronic infectious diseases have a devastating effect on global health. When someone is suffering from a chronic viral infection such as HIV or hepatitis C, their B cells get altered resulting in...
by Buck Institute for Research on Aging Network topology analysis of immune system function representing dozens of integrated cellular responses that are rewired during removal of the hepatitis C virus in humans. Different communities (functional clusters, colored) are determined by the signaling pathways that are being interrogated. For example the black community observed during active...
