A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, ...

By revealing the molecular mechanisms behind the peacekeeping abilities of specialized immune cells, scientists are uncovering new pathways for treating autoimmune conditions and detecting diseases ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered a critical, previously underappreciated role for B cells in vaccine protection. Best known for producing antibodies, B cells also guide other immune cells, specifically CD8 ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

Dietary restriction reshapes CD8+ T cell metabolism by increasing ketone body–driven acetyl-CoA production, preventing ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.1 Despite therapeutic ...

Dietary iron deficiency in mice alters lung T cell activation during influenza infection and leads to memory T cells that are ...
