The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for ...

A map of the immune system has revealed how cells that are key to fighting off infections and certain medical conditions change with age. This could help improve vaccines and treatments for ...

New research co-led by Burnet Institute and WEHI has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving the way for the first effective vaccine against the most widespread form of ...

In a study of historic scale, scientists have created an intricate map of how the immune system functions, examining the detailed molecular structures governing human T cells using the next-generation ...

A first-of-its-kind comprehensive map of the network of connections in the human immune system has uncovered previously unknown interactions and filled in gaps in understanding why approved ...

The human immune system is a network made up of trillions of cells that are constantly circulating throughout the body. The cellular network orchestrates interactions with every organ and tissue to ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...

The first line of defense in our immune systems are white blood cells, 40% to 70% of which are neutrophils. These cells rush to sites of injury or infection, producing proteins to promote inflammation ...

Prostate cancer has long frustrated immunologists. Checkpoint inhibitors that unleash the immune system against tumors in the skin, lung, and bladder have largely fallen short in the prostate, in part ...

Inherited variations in antibody genes can affect how we respond to infections and vaccines, show two new studies from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden, published in the journal Immunity. The ...
