The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

New research co-led by Burnet Institute and WEHI has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

When patients catch the flu even after getting a flu shot, many physicians identify strain differences as the culprit. However, flu science is increasingly identifying another cause for failed flu ...

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T has the potential to treat many more cancers.

A new wave of immuno-therapies is reshaping the fight against cancer, turning the body’s own immune system into a powerful ...

The Nobel Assembly at Karolinsky Institute has today decided to award the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to Mary Branco, Fred Ramsdell, and Simonakaguchi for their discoveries ...

A new study from Harvard University comes as wildfires tied to a warming climate threaten to unravel years of progress toward cleaner air. Exposure to wildfire smoke can affect the human immune system ...

Researchers explore the human immune system by looking at the active components, namely the various genes and cells involved. But there is a broad range of these, and observations necessarily produce ...

In the race to develop a safe, effective treatment for COVID-19, biotech companies like Regeneron and Vir Biotechnology, led by Cornell alumni, have turned to antibodies — which are naturally created ...

Scientists find key protein signals that train the immune system to accept food, opening new possibilities for preventing food allergies.
