Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, attacking harmful invaders while protecting your own tissues. When that balance breaks, infections can spread unchecked, or the body ...

Early thymic progenitor (ETP) cells, derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, enter the thymus at the cortical-medullary junction (CMJ), retaining multipotent differentiation ...

The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...

In a recent perspective review, researchers attempt to collate and discuss scientific knowledge on the concept of the ‘immune self’ and use raw T cell assays, nine amino-long pathogen-derived peptides ...

The field of immunological tolerance increasingly highlights the multifaceted roles played by platelets far beyond their classical functions in hemostasis.

A groundbreaking study, led by Professor Kyemyung Park and his research team in the Graduate School of Health Science and Technology and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST has shed ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease characterized by the destruction of myelin sheaths, neuroaxonal damage, glial cell activation and formation of demyelinated plaques in the ...

Thousands of bacterial and other microbial species live in the human gut, supporting healthy digestion, immunity, metabolism and other functions. Precisely how these microbes are protected from immune ...
