Contamination is one of the main roadblocks to successful cell culture. This article explores the different types of ...

Pneumonia caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most dangerous infections that can occur in hospital.

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

Comparing NGS-based identification of bloodstream infections to traditional culture methods for enhanced ICU care: a comprehensive study. Front. Cell. Infect. Microbiol. 15:1553275. doi: 10.3389/fcimb ...

Introduction: Ophiopogonanone B is a potent component of Qinbai Qingfei-concentrated pills (Qinbai), a new traditional Chinese medicine developed by our hospital for the treatment of Mycoplasma ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign antigens that are expressed by invading bacteria and viruses from self-antigens that are expressed by cells of the body.

Affected populations: Babesiosis is a rare and potentially fatal parasitic disease that destroys red blood cells, the cells that supply tissues with oxygen from the lungs.

Memory T cells play a key role in this immunity, with circulating types patrolling the blood and tissue-resident types guarding specific organs against future infections. This thesis explores how ...

pneumoniae infection is postulated to occur as follows: the inducers (components of M. pneumoniae and/or other inflammatory mediators) of the cell-mediated immune reaction are initially produced ...

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) were originally classified based on their cytokine profiles, placing natural killer (NK) cells and ILC1s together, but recent studies support their separation into ...
