AdJane, a clinical-stage vaccine platform company developing intranasal and intramuscular vaccines based on native Outer Membrane Vesicles (nOMVs), today announces the publication of first-in-human ...

Mucosal immunity represents the first line of defence against respiratory pathogens by organising immune responses directly at the airway surfaces. Unlike systemic immunity, which relies predominantly ...

Teleost fish deploy a sophisticated mucosal immune system at their body surfaces—including gut, gills, skin and nasal passages—that balances defence against pathogens with tolerance of commensal ...

A new study led by University of Toronto researchers has shown that immune cells in the gut follow an atypical pathway to produce antibodies that provide long-term protection against viruses. The ...

Vaccines save millions of lives every year, but there is still an urgent need for more efficient vaccines. Strategies to combat serious outbreaks of viral infections are particularly important. Such ...

A consistent biological barrier that stops the immune system from making the antibodies most needed to protect the nose and throat from respiratory viruses has been identified. The discovery, led by ...

During the COVID pandemic, many of us have received multiple mRNA vaccines. New work by researchers at the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research, Ghent University, and University Hospital Ghent, ...

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, has re-emerged worldwide and continues to be a major health concern. Caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, this contagious respiratory infection can ...

A novel vaccine platform has been developed to induce broad, protective immunity against numerous influenza virus infections, showing promise as an effective mucosal vaccine strategy, according to a ...

International experts have identified key priorities to improve rotavirus vaccine effectiveness, focusing on mucosal immunity ...
