Scientists have uncovered how a key type of immune cell adapts its behavior depending on the type of infection, paving the way for better vaccines and advancing research into immune-related diseases.

Replacing immune cells called microglia holds promise for addressing brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune ...

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt researchers have built the first lung-on-a-chip with a working immune system, a breakthrough with ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

Cambridge scientists built a two-part cancer drug that activates only in tumors with high enzyme levels, showing promise in ...

Researchers have discovered the “fountain of youth” for cells - but it comes with a big cost. Some people over 60 years old were found to have immune systems that appear to be much younger in wear-and ...

Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...
