Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered that PD-1—a molecule best known for putting the brakes on immune cells—also plays a critical role in helping T cells become long-term immune ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster ...

A study reveals epigenetic priming allows memory T cells to respond faster, with transcription factor networks maintaining ...

Memory T cell therapy improves infection clearance after transplant, with 60% remission and strong safety outcomes in early ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

The human brain holds a staggering number of connections, yet scientists have long struggled to explain how it stores so much ...
