There is evidence that neurogenesis — the process of creating new neurons — is possible in adults with the stimulation of ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have developed a new “self-driving” microscope that addresses two major ...

Clusters of T cells, that are part of our immune system protecting us against harmful pathogens, under a microscope. By studying them, Duke-NUS scientists have found that T cells can independently ...

Macrophages—or “big eaters”—are exactly what they sound like. These immune cells roam our bodies hunting down infections, cancers, or injuries. When they detect a target, the cells release a calvary ...

Researchers found that during calorie restriction, glucocorticoids reorganize immune responses, reducing energy-intensive T ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In a new paper published in Cellular & Molecular Immunology, USC Stem Cell scientist Rong Lu and her ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...
