New research at Mount Sinai explains how influenza infections increase the risk of heart attack through a specific immune pathway. Researchers from Mount Sinai have uncovered a possible explanation ...

Researchers elucidated the connection between influenza infection and cardiac disease in mammals by studying human and mouse hearts.

Mount Sinai researchers have identified a cellular mechanism linking infections from influenza A viruses (IAVs) to cardiovascular disease, providing critical insights on how influenza can damage the ...

NUFIP1 in Sepsis: Regulating Immune Function and Organ Dysfunction. This illustration demonstrates the pivotal role of NUFIP1-mediated ribophagy in dendritic cell activation and sepsis-induced immune ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...
