Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

A new method enables engineered immune progenitor cells to replace microglia in mice and reveals how a genetic mutation can lead to inflammation in the brain.

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

If autoimmune disease runs in your family, you may have been told some version of this: It’s in your genes. But science is revealing a deeper layer of complexity; genetic predisposition influences ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

A study published in Nature Medicine identified a link between the placebo effect and immune system function. In the experiment, individuals who generated positive expectations showed a stronger ...

The immune system function declines with age, but a team of MIT researchers may have found a way to rejuvenate it. When older mice were injected with mRNA that coded for the creation of ...

Breast milk is not just nutrition; it’s an immune delivery system, passing along cells, cytokines, and antibodies that protect the newborn and begin to train their immune system. Prior studies on ...

A large genetic analysis combined with clinical data suggests that long-term dietary tendencies may shape autism risk by subtly influencing the immune system, highlighting why diet matters but isn’t a ...

I am lying under a blanket, feeling rough, staring at a bowl of oranges. Every fibre of my being is urging me to devour the lot. I can hear my mum – and medical friends at university – insisting that ...
