Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell ...

To turbocharge disease-specific immune responses in patients, CAR-T cells are produced by removing a person's immune T cells ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

PFAS are found in multiple everyday products, such as cosmetics, outdoor clothing and coated pans. This is because of their special properties. They are heat-resistant, repel water and grease and are ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

Severe bacterial pneumonia remains a major cause of death in critically ill patients, largely due to impaired early immune responses. New research reveals that butyric acid, a metabolite produced by ...

Researchers engineered immune cells that protect insulin-producing cell transplants, bringing scientists closer to a cure for type 1 diabetes.
