Sentences with phrase «during immune responses to infection»

The work will be an important step towards understanding how immune function is controlled during immune responses to infection and cancer.

Not exact matches

The researchers also infected pregnant mice that had the receptor for type I interferons with a viral mimic — a bit of genetic material that goads the body to begin its antiviral immune response — to see if the damage happened only during a Zika infection.

While the observed differences of the individual steps were mostly modest, mathematical modeling suggested that even small delays in the trafficking of these immune cells will lead to reduced initiation of a WNV - specific antibody - response during the early stages after infection.

Following transmission by mosquitoes, the early specific (also called adaptive) immune response to WNV is thought to be dominated by antibodies, and, consistent with this, the researchers found that older mice had less potent WNV - specific antibody responses during the early phase of infection.

During inflammatory responses due to infection, trauma, or cancer, the body's immune system becomes highly activated in an attempt to fend off invading organisms, foreign bodies, or tumor cells.

Along this line, our primary research goals are directed towards understanding how noncoding RNAs and their RNA - binding proteins are integrated in to the regulation of gene expression and modulation of the host immune response during ¿ - herpesviral infection.

Along this line, our primary research goals are directed towards understanding how noncoding RNAs and their RNA - binding proteins are integrated in to the regulation of gene expression and modulation of the host immune response during gammaherpesvirus infection.

The delayed antiviral immune response allows the virus to remain undetected in the vagina, which can increase the risk of fetal infection during pregnancy.

During infection this allows immune responses to better counteract the virulence factors produced by pathogens.

«What's more, the dampened vaginal immune response is especially concerning, because it gives the virus more time to spread to the fetus if a woman is pregnant or becomes pregnant during the course of infection.»

As energy is diverted away from the gut during the fight - or - flight response, digestion and immune function is slowed or halted for long periods of time, which can rob us of key nutrients and expose the gut to infection and inflammation.

Infections can stimulate a specific type of immune response that the body tries to avoid during pregnancies.
