Two doses of a simple tuberculosis vaccination after surgery helps the immune system fight cancer cells and could greatly improve patient outcomes for the most common type of bladder cancer, according to a pilot study […]
As measles cases in West Texas are still on the rise two months after the outbreak began, local public health officials say they expect the virus to keep spreading for at least several more months […]
Adult antibody thresholds are currently used to determine whether immunocompromised children should get a measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) booster shot. However, a new study shows that these thresholds fail to identify a significant percentage […]
Public health officials are advising parents in Texas communities hard hit by the measles outbreak to vaccinate their children ahead of schedule, as early as 6 months of age.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com

Universitätsmedizin Berlin has found that a single dose of the Imvanex vaccine provides protection against mpox with 84% effectiveness. For people with HIV, however, a single dose of the vaccine fails to offer sufficient protection. […]
Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted to keep different pathogens in check. But rapid […]
A vaccine’s ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating in hopes of generating the most […]
The measles outbreak that started in Texas in late January continues to grow. As of March 18, 2025, confirmed cases in the outbreak, which now spans Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, reached 321, surpassing the […]
New computational modeling of avian influenza variants’ immunoprotein interactions—developed by a research team at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte—reveals the H5N1 influenza virus is evolving to escape immunological defenses raised by previous infection […]
