T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

This article explores how advanced immune imaging technologies enable real-time visualization of immune responses, improving understanding of inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer therapy outcomes, and ...

Multicellular organisms are a mosaic of different cells, tissues, and systems, each with their own specific function and interactions with other cells within the organism and/or the larger environment ...

Scientists have found a way to make one of the most aggressive brain tumors vulnerable to the immune system. A single injection of a modified virus can invade glioblastoma, kill cancer cells, and ...

For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

Small food protein signals teach immune cells to accept food. The finding helps explain how the body prevents food allergies.

Sleep allows the body to replenish its immune cells, which are responsible for fighting off germs and other things that can ...

Ginger isn't the only food that can boost your immunity. Citrus fruits, fermented foods, leafy greens, and fatty fish can help boost immunity, too.
