A team of researchers from Brown University Health and Brown University has uncovered an important clue in the fight against ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other ...

Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster when the body encounters a familiar threat, shedding light on immune memory ...

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune memory’ because of the body’s ability to remember previously encountered ...

Memory cells in the nose slow the influenza virus as soon as it enters the body. They reduce viral levels and may help ...

Scientists have found a way to transform hard-to-treat tumors into targets for the immune system. Using two protein stimulators, they activated strong T-cell and B-cell responses and built immune ...

Measles can erase the immune system's memory, leaving us vulnerable to diseases we were previously protected against, new research has found. Two separate studies, published Thursday in the journals ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

Macrophages are some of the body’s most potent weapons against invading cellular threats. Like immunological ‘Hungry Hungry Hippos,’ macrophages engulf and dispose of cancer cells or invasive ...

New research shows how the early environment shapes allergy risk, revealing how microbial exposure trains the immune system.
