As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

New data highlight liver-encoded delivery of immune modulators as a strategy to mitigate age-related immune dysfunction.

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

Basophils trigger a cytokine cascade that improves antitumor immunity in mice, offering potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. “The results remind us: Don’t forget the basophil,” said study ...
