After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...

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.

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

There are two types of Tph cells in rheumatoid arthritis joints that have different roles. Stem-like Tph cells live inside immune “hubs” called tertiary lymphoid structures, where they interact ...

The brain and spinal cord were once thought to enjoy immune privilege, meaning they were believed to be largely insulated from immune activity elsewhere in the body. In recent years, however, ...

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study provides a better understanding of immune ...
