Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

A protein produced by gut immune cells orchestrates both immune protection against pathogens and immune tolerance of gut ...

Researchers found that mRNA cancer vaccines can recruit an unexpected immune cell to launch powerful tumor-fighting responses ...

Plant immunity is largely initiated at the cellular level, with each cell capable of autonomous detection and response, while also coordinating systemic signaling across the organism—unlike the ...

Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases. Your immune system ...

A protein produced by gut immune cells orchestrates both immune protection against pathogens and immune tolerance of gut ...

A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the thymus—allowing for better suppression of autoimmune responses. The thymus ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are rare and progressive kidney diseases, caused by problems in the immune system. They are two distinct ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime's worth of information about threats it's encountered—a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you've conquered; others ...
