Our body's own defense system not only clears away bacteria and viruses, it can also fight cancer. However, not all tumor ...

T-cell activation involves two phases, enabling a more precise immune response. This insight may boost cancer immunotherapy ...

Two major studies from Harvard and MIT uncover a surprising link between the immune system and the brain, revealing how ...

The adaptive immune response is more specific and provides effective cells that eliminate infections. Innate immune cells present signals on their surface, which adaptive immune cells recognize and ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

A new study reveals that chronic stress activates immune cells that travel to the brain, amplify inflammation, and heighten ...

Antibodies are best known for their ability to latch onto and neutralize bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. But these immune proteins can do more than that: They also activate other components of ...

If these findings are confirmed in humans, it could have implications for treating many diseases where the immune system ...

Another important area is protective immunity and memory T cell response. While antibody production ... This dual-layered approach allows for detection of general immune dysfunction and identification ...

The reported safety and tolerability data, together with early indications for the potential relevance of a VXM01 dependent, VEGFR-2 specific immune response in GBM therapy warrant further study. “The ...

IDO1 and PDL1 are immune checkpoints with key roles in immune system regulation. Their relevance stems from their ability to suppress T-cell function. T-cells are vital to the body’s immune response ...
