A “complete eradication” of B cells with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy is responsible for the long-term, drug-free remission from autoimmune diseases observed after treatment, according to ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a study led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine has ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in ...

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

The range of autoimmune diseases treatable with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy could be much broader than ...

Cancer dysregulates the complex structure of tissues and internal cellular pathways. As a result, the immune system loses its ability to effectively target tumor cells. The immune system is made up of ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...
