Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

A study shows dietary fat balance can alter the lipid composition of T cells, influencing their survival, antibody support, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...
