In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Immunology, researchers explored ways galectins can impact immunity and discussed the opportunities and challenges in the field. Galectins comprise ...

A new review by Dr. Ruyuan Wang and an international team of researchers explores the complex interactions between the innate and adaptive immune systems, shedding light on regulatory mechanisms in ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

This story is one in a series marking International Women and Girls in Science Day. Join us as we celebrate some laboratory leaders taking research to new heights. As an assistant professor of ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how the use of a radiation-based immunogenic vaccine combined with a macrophage “checkpoint inhibitor” can boost innate and ...

At one time, natural killer cells were thought of as a small group of specialized immune cells that can rapidly identify and destroy cells that have been infected with a virus. But research has shown ...

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 ...

Foal pneumonia is one of the leading causes of disease and death in foals, with severe cases being most commonly caused by ...

Viruses are masters of stealth. From the moment a virus enters the host's body, it begins hijacking its cells. First, the virus binds to a specific protein on the cell's surface through a lock-and-key ...
