Researchers show that the immune system can recognize and control the latent stage of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, a finding that can inform the study of latency in other infections of the nervous ...

The immune system is the body’s tool for preventing or limiting infection. Its complex network of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues enables the immune system to defend the body from pathogens.

A bout of measles sends the immune system into shock, demolishing critical cells that help our bodies respond to threats. This can leave people extremely susceptible to other pathogens for weeks after ...

The researchers next showed that when macrophages were exposed to inflammatory signals, their activity changed alongside ...

A discovery published in Nature Immunology has shed light on why the immune system is less aggressive toward self-antigens, ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a lasting impact on the innate ...

The HZI team has developed an AI-powered computer model that, for the first time, reveals the aging process at the cellular ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

The mammalian immune system is an evolutionary wonder. It's capable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells, and it can ...

That approach can be effective, but suppressing a sizeable part of the immune system can leave patients vulnerable to infections and side effects such as weight gain and fatigue. Traditional ...

While acute hepatitis B infection is often resolved by the immune system, CHB occurs when the body's defences are unable to ...
