Researchers identify target to enhance NK cell function for liver cancer therapy in Korea New insights into immune cell dynamics could lead to innovative therapies for cancer in Korea.

Their study in mice found that during periods of low energy— such as intermittent fasting—ILC2 immune cells step in to regulate blood sugar levels, acting as a “postman” in a previously ...

This allows the immune cells to patrol tissues in the region and respond to perceived threats, including inflammation, injury, and cancer. It works well if the threat is short-lived.

Today (TBC) Australian researchers reveal how multiple chemicals found in cigarette smoke and e-cigarettes alter the function of a key type of immune cell found in the lungs. Cigarette smoking is ...

In his book The Mathematical Universe, mathematician William Dunham wrote of John Venn’s namesake legacy, the Venn diagram, “No one in the long history of mathematics ever became better known ...

The immune cells are postulated to exert a pivotal role in the development of fibrotic skin disease. Single-cell RNA sequencing has been used to explore the composition and functionality of immune ...

The evolution of robust and flexible defense responses has been driven by the diverse and adaptive nature of foreign threats. To maintain its effectiveness, the immune system produces highly ...

Obesity can also affect lymph nodes (a key part of the immune system) and immune cell activity. Managing weight can boost immunity. Dietary changes, incorporating more physical activity, and stress ...

In doing so, they discovered a novel immune response state, which they called PRIMER, that emerged in cells at specific immune hotspots. The PRIMER cells expressed a new transcription factor—a ...

In the same way that ChatGPT understands human language, a new AI model developed by computational biologists captures the language of cells to accurately predict their activities. In the same way ...

A research team from the University of California, Irvine has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that triggers an inflammatory immune response in cells when their DNA is damaged. This ...
