Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Researchers led by Yasuhiro Murakawa at the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) and Kyoto University in Japan and IFOM ETS in Italy have discovered several rare types of helper T cells ...

A newly developed method called ReapTEC allowed the discovery of thousands of active bidirectional enhancers. Further analysis of GWAS data revealed that various immune-mediated diseases, like ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

A team of researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University has developed a deep-ultraviolet (UV) microscopy method that can ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

Researchers have used a new method, ReapTEC, to identify rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders. The immune system is largely made up of a type of white blood cell ...

When a virus enters the lungs, the immune system has to react fast. The lung maintains its own community of immune cells ...

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also—in a particular subset of T cells—cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, Vanderbilt ...
