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 ...

Most vaccines — and boosters — are injected directly into muscle tissue, usually in the upper arm, to kickstart the body's immune system in the fight against disease. But for respiratory diseases like ...

Cancer immunotherapy, which primes the body's immune system to fight off tumors, has historically focused on harnessing T cells' natural ability to recognize and attack cancer cells. While this ...

Sniffle season is officially back. From crowded classrooms and office meetings to indoor sporting events and concerts, germs are everywhere this time of year. Health experts say fall and winter bring ...

Trinity College Dublin scientists showed that electrical stimulation reprograms macrophages to reduce inflammation and boost healing. This breakthrough could lead to broad therapeutic uses.

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 ...

Cancer immunotherapy has historically focused on harnessing the ability of T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells. Adaptive immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) unleash tumor-infiltrating ...

Home builders in the Kansas City metro say that new energy mandates could lead to a drop in the construction of new homes.

Staying young might not be all it’s cracked up to be. While most people experience a decline in immune function with age, new research has found that a fortunate few maintain a powerful defense thanks ...

For years, scientists have hoped to harness the immune system to attack cancer using a group of drugs known as CD40 agonist antibodies. On paper, they looked like a breakthrough. In mice and other lab ...

A University of Florida research team led by Dr. Elias Sayour, center, developed an mRNA vaccine that boosted the tumor-fighting effects of immunotherapy. An experimental mRNA vaccine developed at the ...
