Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) serve as central effectors in cancer immunotherapy by directly eliminating tumor cells. However, current clinical therapies face significant limitations. These ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...

Every individual’s immune system is distinct and changes over time, affecting their health and disease response. Recently, researchers mapped human immune cells to explore what defines a healthy ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

An international research group has combined advanced single-cell technologies with studies in lung organoids to map the development of early human lung immune cells over time. Their results, which ...
