“Our study shows how the most important environmental and genetic risk factors can contribute to MS and trigger an autoimmune ...

Autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis arise when the immune system turns against the body itself. Yet for most of ...

Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...

Our results provide mechanistic evidence that immune responses to EBV can directly damage the brain in MS,” said Olivia Thomas, PhD, assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at ...

One of the big debates in long COVID research is whether the virus can persist in the body, or whether it leaves the immune ...

Using participant skin cells reprogrammed into neurons, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have identified genetic signatures ...

Learn how a naturally occurring cat coronavirus is helping reveal how viral infections can linger inside the immune system.
