When viruses or bacteria enter the body, immune cells divide their roles to protect the body.For those who say, "I've memorized the names of the cells, but I don't know who tells what to whom." We ...

T cell immunity plays a pivotal role in the host defence against SARS-CoV-2, complementing humoral responses and contributing to viral clearance, disease modulation and long-term protection. Upon ...

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 ...

Scientists studying how plants fend off one of agriculture’s most destructive groups of pathogens have uncovered a molecular switch that sits at the crossroads of cellular stress and immune e ...

The findings are published in the journal Immunity. Using advanced imaging and mice lacking a critical DNA control region called a super-enhancer, researchers showed that this folding pattern changes ...

What stem cell therapy can—and cannot—do, what the science says, and how these treatments are offered in Mexico.

Members of the Immune Systems & Stem Cells research area are interested in understanding how immune systems and stem cells regulate organismal health and disease. We investigate the beneficial immune ...

For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell killing. However, growing clinical and single-cell sequencing evidence ...
