Stem cells can fight disease from the inside out. But not all treatments are created equal. By Mohana Ravindranath The promise of stem cell therapy is powerful. Scientists can draw versatile cells ...

Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to a trio of scientists – two of them American and one Japanese – for unraveling how the immune system protects us from thousands of ...

Scientists have achieved an unprecedented look into how the human immune system attacks a transplanted pig kidney, using spatial molecular imaging to map immune activity down to the cellular level.

The human immune system is a masterpiece of evolution — powerful enough to fend off millions of potential pathogens every day, yet finely regulated to protect the body’s own tissues. How this balance ...

As the body ages, so does the immune system. The immune system usually becomes less effective in older age, a process known as immunosenescence. This can increase the risk of: While you can’t prevent ...
