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 ...

The brain and spinal cord were once thought to enjoy immune privilege, meaning they were believed to be largely insulated from immune activity elsewhere in the body. In recent years, however, ...

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also—in a particular subset of T cells—cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, Vanderbilt ...

Study uncovers a pathogenic subset of memory T-cells that promote tissue inflammation and highlights a potential target for treating nasal polyps and other inflammatory airway diseases. Study: ...

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a significant discovery regarding the cultivation of ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...

Prenatal PFAS exposure is linked to altered Th cell distributions, with increased Th1, Th17, and Th22 cells at 12 months, indicating potential pro-inflammatory immune programming. The study highlights ...
