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.

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

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

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 ...

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

Immune cells released from bone marrow in the skull in response to chronic stress and adversity could play a key role in symptoms of depression and anxiety, say researchers. The discovery—found in a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that water influx is necessary for immune cells called T cells to activate and divide in response to a threat. T cells defend against infections ...

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 ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...
