A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging-US on February 8, 2026, titled "Single-cell transcriptomics reveal ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...

Clusters of T cells, that are part of our immune system protecting us against harmful pathogens, under a microscope. By studying them, Duke-NUS scientists have found that T cells can independently ...

SAN DIEGO — Infections account for nearly half of all deaths not caused by disease relapse among patients with advanced blood cancers after treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell ...

A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from spreading: they kill themselves to eliminate the dangerous microbes they ...

The immune system regulates disease response throughout our bodies. Interestingly, two separate responses act as barriers to prevent the spread of infections. When first introduced to a disease, the ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign antigens that are expressed by invading bacteria and viruses from self-antigens that are expressed by cells of the body. If not, the ...
