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 ...

A study shows dietary fat balance can alter the lipid composition of T cells, influencing their survival, antibody support, ...

The types of fats we consume directly impacts the survival and strength of the body's immune cells and ability to fight disease, researchers have found. A University of Queensland team led an ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...

There are two types of Tph cells in rheumatoid arthritis joints that have different roles. Stem-like Tph cells live inside immune “hubs” called tertiary lymphoid structures, where they interact ...

Our diet can affect our health in different ways–diet directly impacts the calories and nutrients we consume; it can influence metabolism ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...
