When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...

Researchers from The University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California–San Francisco have used a new brain-mapping technique to identify memory-related brain cells vulnerable to ...

B cells play a key role in humoral immune responses through their ability to produce antibodies. In addition, they can also function through other antibody-independent pathways, such as immune ...

Researchers have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with bacteria, viruses and other antigens within them, a finding ...

The Israeli study examined tumor samples and nearby lymph nodes from 11 patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer.

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Scientists reprogram brain immune cells to fight Alzheimer's: Study ...
