The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full ...

A new AI-based method reconstructs spatial information about where immune cells were originally located in an organ, even after these cells have been removed from the tissue and analyzed individually.

How people with compromised immune systems respond to vaccines is an important area of immunological research. A study led by ...

So if we could biologically "reprogram" T cells, fitting out their tired old engines with new sources of power, it could essentially slow this natural deterioration of the immune system and in turn ...

The types of fats we consume directly impacts the survival and strength of the body's immune cells and ability to fight disease, researchers have found. A University of Queensland team led an ...

A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from ...

For decades, differences in pain between men and women have often been attributed to psychological, emotional or social ...
