Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our organs healthy.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in ...

Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...

Researchers engineered immune cells that protect insulin-producing cell transplants, bringing scientists closer to a cure for ...

A Medical University of South Carolina team reports in Frontiers in Immunology that it has engineered a new type of genetically modified immune cell that can precisely target and neutralize ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

University of Chicago researchers developed an mRNA nanoparticle system that triggers cells to produce PD-L1 protein, potentially delaying type 1 diabetes progression in animal models.
