Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Progression-free and overall survival outcomes in patients with cancer treated with immunotherapy could be related to thymic ...

Genetic information in cancer cells reveals the strength of cancer–immune interactions in an individual-based stochastic model, which captures explicit interactions between cancer and effector cells.

Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In new research done on mice, scientists point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells, which make ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

The immune-boosting power of a fever is surprisingly ancient. Cold-blooded creatures like fish typically move to warmer environments to help fight infections. In one fish species, Nile tilapia, that ...

That common belief that your immune system inevitably deteriorates with age might be more myth than reality. While conventional wisdom has long held that immune function naturally declines as we get ...

Foal pneumonia is one of the leading causes of disease and death in foals, with severe cases being most commonly caused by the bacterium Rhodococcus equi (R. equi). Studies by researchers at Texas A&M ...
