A study published in Science by the Champalimaud Foundation reveals a surprising new role for the immune system. During periods of low energy—such as intermittent fasting or exercise—immune cells step ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a subset of immune cells are essential for successful organ transplantation acceptance and that therapeutically targeting them may improve ...

Modifying the organ instead of the recipient isn’t a new idea, but it is an important one, said Jeffrey Platt, a transplantation biologist at the University of Michigan Medical School who was not ...

Researchers identified a natural 'brake' within the innate immune system: the inhibitory receptor Siglec-E (SigE) and its human counterparts, Siglec-7 and Siglec-9. This receptor helps prevent ...

New research from the University of Minnesota Medical School offers a new view of how the immune system responds to organ transplants. The findings, published in Science Advances, show that T cell ...

A Medical University of South Carolina team reports in Frontiers in Immunology that it has engineered a new type of genetically modified immune cell that can precisely target and neutralize ...

Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has introduced a new organ-on-a-chip platform that recapitulates age-dependent immune responses, offering a more accurate testing bed for evaluating ...

Arteries become clogged. Blood flow is restricted and oxygen is cut off. The result is a heart attack, the world's leading ...

Nipah virus does not just infect the body, it disrupts immune defences at multiple levels, suppressing early antiviral responses and triggering harmful inflammation.

During fasting or exercise, immune cells (red) migrate to the pancreas and stimulate glucagon-producing cells (orange) to regulate blood sugar, with cell nuclei shown in blue. “For decades, immunology ...
