In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. Immune cells that are designed to ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. But now, scientists at UC San Francisco ...

As we age, our immune system also ages. We become more susceptible to infections, vaccinations work less well and the risk of developing immune-related disorders such as autoimmune diseases increases.

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their collective work in the discovery of specialized immune cells that roam ...

The immune system is made of various cell types that take on critical roles to fight off foreign pathogens. These subsets of cells make up two distinct barriers of immunity, including innate and ...

Immunotherapy has transformed healthcare and how physicians treat patients. Various forms of immunotherapy have been developed over the last two decades to target solid tumors and hematological ...

Even in death, cells leave a trace. Scientists have discovered a microscopic “Footprint of Death” that not only helps the immune system clean up but can also give viruses a new way to spread infection ...
