known as T cells, are activated and proliferate during a viral infection. Their findings revealed novel mechanisms: the immune system amplifies its defense cells in a far more targeted way than ...

The immune system works to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Various cell types and immune mechanisms work in concert to fight disease. Specifically, two waves of immunity orchestrate a robust ...

Their findings revealed novel mechanisms: the immune system amplifies its defense cells in a far more targeted way than previously believed. T-cells proliferate and specialize during the immune ...

Researchers have unlocked a powerful new way to fight solid tumors using smart immune cells that ... And because the system naturally stops when the cancer cells are gone, the chance of attacking ...

Human cells have a complex DNA repair system involving over 500 crucial genes. By analyzing interactions among these genes, researchers identified new potential targets for cancer therapy.

Now, two new studies from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published April 7 in Cell, detail the steps of an intricate brain ... These treatments would work indirectly ...

and maybe later were hijacked by the immune system also to act as immune modulators,” Choi says. In the other Cell paper, the researchers explored another brain location where they found IL-17 ...

The research team, headed by Professor Pla-Martín from the Institute of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at HHU, has identified a specialized recycling system, which cells activate when they ...

As cells are infected by microorganisms, they can pre-emptively die to prevent the replication and spreading of the pathogen. Cell death that is associated with the presence of pathogen-associated ...

The human immune system is a remarkable evolutionary tool that is often taken for granted—until, that is, something gets past its cellular defenses. However, this complex system of cells ...

“Immune amnesia basically destroys your immune system. And with respect to the measles virus, it can infect the cells that process the memories or prior immune or viral infection and other ...
