Many people think of new medicines as bullets, and in the pharmaceutical industry, frequently used terms like “targets” and “hits” reinforce that idea. Immuneering co-founder and CEO Ben Zeskind ’03, Ph.D. ’06 prefers a different analogy. His company, which specializes in bioinformatics and computational biology, sees many effective drugs more like noise-canceling headphones. Rather than […]

It’s one of the most common neurological diseases globally, characterized by recurrent seizures in part or all of the body. It’s also quite treatable with daily antiseizure medications. Yet like many prescription drugs, these have side […]
Differences in biological sex can dictate lifelong disease patterns, says a new study by Michigan State University researchers that links connections between specific hormones present before and after birth with immune response and lifelong immunological disease development. Published in the most recent edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study answers […]
A newly described disease occurring in children and linked to COVID-19 has significant changes in white blood cells—a discovery that may allow doctors to better assess their young patients’ condition and predict their resistance to current treatments, a new study reveals. Pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (PIMS-TS) is a new disease […]
Researchers in Korea have developed a deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that can accurately classify cutaneous skin disorders, predict malignancy, suggest primary treatment options, and serve as an ancillary tool to enhance the diagnostic accuracy of clinicians. With the assistance of this system, the diagnostic accuracy of dermatologists as well as the general public […]
Whether measles, the flu, or pneumonia: Many of these diseases can be prevented. To the fact Professor Dr. Thomas Weinke, expert for infectious disease Loge at the Klinikum Ernst Bergmann in Potsdam pointed out, the pharmacon in Schladming/Austria. The measles protection act, which was recently decided by the Bundestag (aponet.de reported) shows Weinke, according to […]
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is reporting a continued increase in influenza activity for the week ending Nov. 30, there is still time to get a flu shot. The vaccine is especially important for at-risk populations, says a Purdue University public health expert. The flu shot is safe for at-risk populations such […]
Scientists have shown how measles causes long-term damage to the immune system, leaving people vulnerable to other infections. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of Amsterdam and their collaborators revealed that the measles virus deletes part of the immune system’s memory, removing previously existing immunity to other infections, in both humans and ferrets. Importantly, […]
A Finnish study reports that the more allergic diseases an individual has, the higher the asthma risk. The number of allergic diseases increases the risk of adult-onset asthma especially in individuals born after 1940, according to a study published in the Allergy journal. Approximately one in 10 Finns suffers from asthma. It is one of […]
