For decades, scientists have known that a protein made by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in the immune system, called ...

Discover how regular exercise supercharges your immune system at a cellular level. Learn how physical activity mobilizes immune cells, sharpens defenses, a ...

Scientists at McGill University have discovered a surprising new ability of immune cells that could change how we understand ...

T cell immunity constitutes a central pillar of the adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, acting in concert with antibodies to prevent severe disease. CD4⁺ helper T cells orchestrate antiviral ...

A review finds that programmed cell death can promote immune evasion or antitumour immunity in oropharyngeal cancer depending on pathway and tumour context.

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells. The study demonstrated that inducing cancer cells to ...

Recent work has shed light on another way in which tumors escape immune cell recognition. It is well known that cancer ...

When viruses invade a plant, you might expect an all-out immune war. But new research published in Science shows that, much like in humans, too strong an immune response can actually do more harm than ...

Rapidly dividing cancer cells can develop DNA mutations that produce abnormal proteins called antigens, which are unique to ...

Researchers have built the first cross-tissue single-cell atlas of T cell and B cell receptor repertoires in healthy piglets, revealing biased V(D)J gene usage, conserved CDR3 structures, and ...
