The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...

A new study by LMU and Helmholtz Munich shows how pathogens control changes in their cell surface to evade the immune system.

Every now and then, the virus changes dramatically in a process called antigenic shift. When this occurs, people become even less immune, and the likelihood of disease spread dramatically increases.

but is reciprocally shaped by epithelial transcriptomic adaptations-a paradigm shift for optimizing livestock productivity through targeted microbiome stewardship during critical windows.

Researchers have linked shift work to a variety of health and sleep issues. Experts have ideas on how to prevent them. By Eric Berger When Samantha Shaw took a new job as a research technician for ...

Every now and then, the virus changes dramatically in a process called antigenic shift. When this occurs, people become even less immune, and the likelihood of disease spread dramatically increases.

These studies demonstrate that sequential, phenotypic and antigenic variants represent viruses that have become increasingly fit for replication in the host, and our data support the hypothesis ...

The findings consolidate previous observations and further the understanding of the enigmatic mechanism that underlies the regulation of the var gene family and antigenic variation in P. falciparum, ...
