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 ...

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 ...

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are specialized immune cells that have a challenging task in the body. They must balance the immune system by making it aggressive enough to fight infection and cancer but ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Pancreatic cancer patients may benefit from future precision treatments as a new study shows how some tumours may potentially be more susceptible to macrophage-based therapies. The study which is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure remains elusive. Now they have something that benefits any scientific effort.
