Researchers uncover genetic machinery answerable for EBV-induced B cell growth transformation

B cells or B lymphocytes are a crucial a part of the body’s immune system. When healthy B cells are infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), they undergo growth transformation, a process that immortalizes B cells, resulting in their uncontrolled proliferation. The induction of immortalized B cells is step one in the event of posttransplant […]

The worms that cause schistosomiasis (Schistosoma mansoni) are unusual in several ways, especially the incontrovertible fact that female and male adults must stay paired together throughout their lives for replica to achieve success. Females may produce as many as 3,000 eggs per day. Roughly half reach the host’s gut or bladder. The remaining are swept […]
