A therapy for type 1 diabetes is the first to treat patients before symptoms appear, paving the way toward preventing this and other autoimmune diseases.

A new study points to repercussions of the Medieval pandemic for the health of modern humans.

Recent studies have lent support for a variety of hypotheses explaining the debilitating symptoms affecting millions of people after SARS-CoV-2 infection.  

This year’s awards recognize work on integrins, noninvasive prenatal screening, and COVID-19 data tracking.

What triggers type 1 diabetes has been difficult to prove, but a bacterium that produces an insulin-like peptide can give mice type 1 diabetes, and infection with the microbe seems to predict the onset of the disease in humans.

Genetic variants that reduce the editing levels of double-stranded RNA are associated with autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions, a study finds.

Several lines of evidence suggest that targeting the body’s defense pathways might help treat a subset of people with the psychiatric disorder. But many open questions remain.

Scientists have pinpointed several pathways through which the immune system could disrupt neuronal functioning and thereby lead to psychotic symptoms.

Making specific alterations to the bacterial population in a rat’s lungs either better protects the animals against multiple sclerosis–like symptoms or makes them more vulnerable, a study finds—the first demonstration of a lung-brain axis.

Roseolovirus infection disrupts how the body trains immune cells not to attack it, a mouse study shows.

Experts say new research provides strong evidence that a common herpesvirus can trigger the chronic inflammatory disease.

Immunologists and parasitologists are working to revive the idea that helminths, and more specifically the molecules they secrete, could help treat allergies and autoimmune disease.

Research in animals and people supports a range of mechanisms by which the parasites affect physiology and immune responses.
