Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic B cells. While autoreactive T cells are key ...

A newly discovered molecule may hold the key to rebalancing the immune system in lupus and autoimmune diseases. A newly discovered molecule may hold the key to rebalancing the immune system in lupus ...

Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

Vaccines provide a front-line defense against dangerous viruses, training adaptive immune cells to identify and fight specific pathogens. But innate immune cells — the first responders to any bodily ...

Scientists have pinpointed a small molecule that appears to reverse key signs of immune aging in laboratory models, raising the prospect of drugs that could keep our defenses against infection ...

Exposure to a common fungal molecule can reprogram immune cells in the lungs, causing them to overreact to infection-like signals and worsen lung damage, according to new research. The study, ...
