As such, we wanted to understand whether T cells which fight EBV were different in people with MS. By analyzing blood samples ...

Scientists in Sweden have taken an important step forward in understanding how a very common virus, called Epstein-Barr virus ...

Specifically, work developing T-cells that have been selected or engineered to attack cells in the brain infected with EBV. “T-cell therapies can penetrate the CNS, which will be crucial for ...

This surge in TGF-beta creates an immune environment conducive to the reactivation of viruses such as EBV. “TGF-beta can do two things: First, it suppresses the cytotoxicity of T-cells ...

The Breakthrough Prizes have been awarded annually since 2013 to recognize accomplishments in fundamental physics, ...

Leukemia cells containing Epstein-Barr Virus CDC, PAUL M. FEORINO When Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) causes cancer, it usually does so by hijacking two cellular mechanisms. First, the virus deregulates MYC ...

Two researchers win the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for their discoveries related to multiple sclerosis disease ...

Donor T cells are reactive against and effective in adoptive immunotherapy of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lymphomas, which develop in some leukemia patients after marrow transplantation. Such T cells ...

"Our research provides compelling evidence that EBV actively contributes to UC severity by triggering inflammatory cell death in macrophages. More significantly, we have identified glycolysis as a ...
