Scientists at McGill University have discovered a surprising new ability of immune cells that could change how we understand ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...

Two Fred Hutch Cancer Center researchers received prestigious R01 awards to support large projects with clear outcomes and ...

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 ...

Most of us have had COVID by now. Some barely noticed it. Others spent days flat in bed. You probably assumed the worse the illness, the stronger your body's memory of it afterward. New research turns ...

The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells ...

A mouse study shows that intestinal infections seed long-lived, antigen-specific memory CD4+ T cells in the dura mater, which ...

Obesity appears to leave a molecular imprint on key immune cells that may persist for 5 to 10 years after weight loss. This long-lasting “obesity memory” could help explain why some obesity-related ...

In a recent study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, a team led by researchers from Harvard Medical School explored how prenatal exposure to maternal pro-inflammatory cytokines affected ...

Unlike transient innate immune activation, trained immunity is characterized by long-lasting but reversible functional reprogramming of monocytes, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and ...
