Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a virus that exists as 2 species, HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6B, the more widespread species, is a pathogen infecting more than 90% of individuals world-wide during childhood and then establishing a latent and lifelong infection.
Cancer Immunotherapy: A Colourful Past and A Bright Future
cancer_immunotherapy Cancer immunotherapy is one promising cancer treatment option whereby the host’s own immune system is used to treat cancer. The therapy works by either stimulating certain immune activities, or counteracting cancer cell signals that suppress immune
Neurological Disease Therapy through Regulation of Reactive Oxygen Species Levels
ScienCell’s Rat Hippocampal Neurons Used in Recent Neurological Disease Therapy Research Published in Scientific Reports Journal Neurons are dynamically polarized cells responsible for electrochemically transmitting information throughout the nervous system. Scientists have characterized hundreds of neuron types based on location, morphology and gene expression. In general, there
Problems with Immunotherapy
Pairs of proteins that act as T-cell co-signaling receptors are called immune checkpoints. These cell surface receptors can send positive or negative signals to T cells, instigating a response from the immune system to either stimulate the immune system against
A Brief Introduction to PD-1 Antibodies and Immunotherapy
President Jimmy Carter’s cancer remission was wonderful news, but as some outlets [1] noted, it is important to understand that not all patients are responding as well to similar treatments, and that there is currently still no “cure” for cancer.
Stem Cell Basics
Stem cells, by definition, can undergo infinite number of cell division while remain in an undifferentiated state. However, stem cells can also give rise to differentiated daughter cells that are committed to specialised cell fate in all three primary germ

Non-classical MHC Tetramers
Non-classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules are non-polymorphic proteins implicated in both innate and adaptive immune responses.1,2 While classical MHCs present antigens to CD8+/CD4+ cells for further immune processing, non-classical MHCs also mediate activation or inhibition in natural killer (NK) cells.3 MBL
