The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed against Salmonella. Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered that ...

Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

Engineered bacteria reprogram tumor macrophages and direct copper into cancer cells, triggering cell death and systemic immunity without damaging healthy tissue. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tumors do not ...

CAR T therapy has been transformative in the battle against deadly cancers. Scientists extract a patient’s own immune cells, genetically engineer them to target a specific type of cancer, and infuse ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the pathogen, thus marking it as an intruder and triggering an immune response. For ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty ...

Antibiotics are powerful treatments that have saved countless lives over the course of decades. New findings from Scripps Research have identified a way to preserve healthy immune development even ...

Northwestern scientists said they found pancreatic cancer cells play a trick on a person's immune system by wearing a sugar ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...

Researchers found that anxiety and insomnia were linked to reduced levels of natural killer cells in young women. As stress and sleep problems intensified, immune defenses appeared to weaken further.
