A new type of cancer cell that "warrants urgent investigation" has been discovered in childhood leukemia and could impact ...

Scientists have discovered why the flu vaccine can perform poorly. They found that a specific type of immune cell, called T follicular helper cells, indirectly controls the anti-influenza response.

A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai helps explain why some people with multiple myeloma, a type of ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Despite the capability of antiretroviral drugs to suppress HIV to undetectable levels, some people living with the human ...

Some people infected with HIV are teeming with virus, but don’t get sick. Their resistive powers probably come from a mix of genetics and unique immune responses, according to a study of such rare ...

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also—in a particular subset of T cells—cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, Vanderbilt ...

Professional antigen-presenting dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in regulating T cell immune responses at both systemic and mucosal sites. Many Lactobacillus species are normal members of the human ...

Study reveals that moderate fever temperatures (39°C) improve metabolism, proliferation, and effector function of CD4 T cells while reducing regulatory T cell suppression. Study: Subset-specific ...
