The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how ...

Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, ...

New research zeroes in on a unique group of immune cells that could transform how we treat—and possibly prevent—severe food ...

Measles doesn’t just cause illness, but also erases the immune system’s memory, leaving people vulnerable to infections ...

Immunotherapy is increasingly becoming standard therapy in cancer, with technology, such as checkpoint inhibitors and cell ...

High-intensity electrical pulses have been medically used to destroy tumors while sparing healthy tissue. But lower-intensity ...

Researchers have found that tapping into the body's own immune system and activating a type of immune cell known as B cells, could be the key to boosting the effectiveness of tumor-infiltrating ...

A study led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in collaboration with the Instituto ...

Dr. Laura Finn brings new treatment options to Louisiana using genetically altered cells to treat blood cancer patients. Here ...

Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable food to pass through the body without triggering an immune reaction, unless they malfunction to cause allergies. The immune system must be ...

Among the SLAM-expressing cells that measles wrecks are memory B and T cells, two crucial players in a functioning immune ...
