Jan. 28, 2025 — Study reveals how immune cells in the gut distinguish between food and harmful pathogens, shedding light on the origins of both food allergies and intestinal ...

Innate immune cells are white blood cells that mediate innate immunity and include basophils, dendritic cells, eosinophils, Langerhans cells, mast cells, monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Researchers find that microglia function differently in males versus females, potentially having broad implications for how neurological diseases are studied. A collision happens. Someone is hurt ...

Computer model from @hopkinskimmel researchers IDs tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with #lungcancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. › Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer ...
