Researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues have determined that a specific type of immune cell—type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)—can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, thereby preventing an effective, healthy rebuilding of the immune system.

Researchers develop hybrid antibody with improved immune activationAntibodies can be likened to keys, with antigens as the corresponding locks. Each antibody is uniquely shaped to fit a specific antigen, much like a key fits its particular lock. The precise ability to bind to disease-causing proteins makes antibodies invaluable for researchers developing new treatments.

Researchers identify ORF6 protein as key to SARS-CoV-2 immune evasionAn article published in the journal Cell describes a study that enabled a group of researchers to discover how SARS-CoV-2 evades the cytotoxic immune response by identifying a protein called ORF6 that is a key factor in this mechanism.

Immune cells monitor blood platelet maturation in bone marrow, researchers discoverPlatelets play an essential role in wound healing. Underproduction can cause devastating bleeding, while overproduction increases the deadly risk of thromboses. Maintaining a constant level of platelets in the blood (homeostasis) is therefore vitally important. Platelets are continuously formed by megakaryocytes (MKs) and released into the blood.
