When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

As the body grows, the immune system starts losing its strength. Inside the weakening immune system, the populations of ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

New data highlight liver-encoded delivery of immune modulators as a strategy to mitigate age-related immune dysfunction.

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are present in normal or increased numbers but have impaired antiviral ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have characterized a hidden intermediate state at the center of Src ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...
