A landmark study due to start in the coming months aims to test a method for rejuvenating our immune system in older age. The ...

The most comprehensive map of the developing human thymus sheds light on how immune responses are built and maintained at early life, with implications for understanding and treating immunodeficiency, ...

A new study has uncovered a previously unknown antiviral defense mechanism in sea anemones, revealing that animals may have ...

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems. These miniature models—known as ...

University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...

Three Husker students under the mentorship of Luwen Zhang, a leading University of Nebraska-Lincoln virologist, have achieved a rare feat for undergraduates. Vanessa Hubing, a junior biological ...

An initiative partly funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK has moved further towards its goal of producing a 'human cell atlas' (HCA) to map every cell type in the human body.

Researchers at McMaster University have developed a new cancer immunotherapy strategy that can simultaneously attack deadly ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...
