A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

Almost everyone carries Candida albicans. The yeast colonizes human mucous membranes—for example, the oral mucosa and the ...

A team from the Max Planck Research Group for Systems Immunology at the University of Würzburg has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results, published in Science, ...

Researchers found that mRNA cancer vaccines can recruit an unexpected immune cell to launch powerful tumor-fighting responses ...

New research from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has explained how the body’s internal clock influences the inflammatory process of the immune system. The findings describe how immune ...

Researchers suggest targeting neutrophil-driven inflammatory pathways may be critical for reducing pathology in infant RSV ...

The immune system's B cells create antibodies that can mount a response against just about anything—either destroying a pathogen or instructing the rest of the immune system to go after the offender.

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

A study by Oregon Health & Science University researchers has uncovered a new way proteins can be changed inside cells. This discovery could be important for understanding how the immune system works.

Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and its function in adulthood. The study, published in Science Immunology, ...
