Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

Food allergies are serious and, for some, potentially deadly. And yet, despite decades of research into allergies and what causes them, very little is known about why the vast majority of people are ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.

One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...

Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...
