Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship to help protect their larger host organisms. The building blocks required ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

Food allergies are serious and, for some, potentially deadly. And yet, despite decades of research into allergies and what causes them, very little is known about why the vast majority of people are ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

Immune system cells can be engineered outside of the body in a type of therapy called CAR-T. Now, Johns Hopkins scientists are developing ways to sidestep such cell manufacturing with a biodegradable ...

Small food protein signals teach immune cells to accept food. The finding helps explain how the body prevents food allergies.

Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

The immune system in the uterus can regenerate after both uterus transplantation and bone marrow transplantation. This is ...

A T-cell response, or cellular immunity, was present in 100 people six months after their initial COVID-19 infection, according to a study published in the preprint server BioRxiv. Researchers from ...
