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 ...

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

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 ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways—ways that have important implications for the development of ...

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

A new study shows how bacteria administered to foals via feeding tubes trigger a response in respiratory immune cells.

Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. A new review published in the Chinese Medical Journal highlights how immune cells, including T and B ...
