Researchers distinguish systems behind inflammasome initiation by fungal pathogens Kumar Jeetendra | December 3, 2020 Researchers at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have identified the mechanisms behind inflammasome activation driven by infection with the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. Fungal infection, especially with A. fumigatus, is a leading cause of infection-associated deaths in people with compromised immune systems. The work provides clues to a potential therapeutic approach for treating infectious and …
Immunotherapy treatments for nephrological autoimmune illnesses may help treat serious Coronavirus Kumar Jeetendra | June 8, 2021 Various viruses and bacteria have been known to cause autoimmune diseases where there’s such a predisposition. This phenomenon also seems to play a major part SARS-CoV-2, especially in severe courses.
