A map of the immune system has revealed how cells that are key to fighting off infections and certain medical conditions change with age. This could help improve vaccines and treatments for ...

Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure ...

A first-of-its-kind comprehensive map of the network of connections in the human immune system has uncovered previously unknown interactions and filled in gaps in understanding why approved ...

Inherited variations in antibody genes can affect how we respond to infections and vaccines, show two new studies from ...

Study reveals how our immune system transforms across a lifetime—unlocking the potential for predicting disease risk and optimizing health before symptoms appear. Resource: Integrating single-cell RNA ...

Researchers combined advanced imaging techniques with a computational method to probe how immune cells interact with each other, revealing that the interactions between immune cells in the vicinity of ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

Researchers found a molecular mechanism, shared in cancer and pregnancy, that suppresses the immune system. Block this mechanism, called B7-H4, and the immune system revs up to slow cancer's growth.
