A team led by scientists at King's College London, in collaboration with national and international partners, has discovered ...

A recent Nature Immunology study explores the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during viral infection. Lymphoid tissues play a vital role in ...

In a preclinical study, researchers led by City of Hope have discovered that a type of immune cell in the human body, known to be important for allergy and other immune responses, can also attack ...

“Allogeneic transplants can be very effective, and potentially lifesaving, but not all immune cells given to a recipient are reproduced from donor cells,” said Jonathan Serody, MD. “Innate type 2 ...

A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

A newly described stage of a lymph node-like structure seen in liver tumors after presurgical immunotherapy may be vital to successfully treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, according to a ...

Erythropoietin, the protein that drives red blood cell formation, also induces tolerance in dendritic cells, leading to the development of regulatory T cells.

Researchers have determined that type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), a type of immune cell, can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, ...
