Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Researchers in Korea have reported that butyrate from commensal gut bacteria can enhance T follicular helper cell function, increase immunoglobulin A production and improve protection after ...
