The immune system may be more versatile than scientists once thought, according to a new study by Brown researchers. Scientists usually separate the immune system into two branches. Innate immunity ...

It emerges from a study of human cells that smoking can influence certain immune responses to the same extent as can age or genetics. Smoking can alter the immune system in ways that persist long ...

Hematopoietic reprogramming reflects the selective and evolutionarily conserved engagement of transcription factor networks that encode innate immune memory in long-lived stem cells.

Numerous factors shape how a person’s immune system reacts to infections and other challenges. Age, sex and genetics are fundamental contributors—as the COVID pandemic highlighted. Now a new study ...

Researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University have developed a new approach to harnessing immunostimulatory cytokine proteins as a potential immunotherapy. Unlike previous methods ...

“We know for multiple reasons why smoking is bad in terms of its cancer risk, but here we're showing additional information that it's also probably negatively impacting your immune response. And that ...

Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Preclinical data highlight MTHFD2 as a promising metabolic target in autoimmune disease, providing strong validation for the ...

Researchers have developed a nanoparticle-based platform for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that comprises ceria nanoparticles (Ce NPs) immobilized onto mesenchymal stem cell-derived nanovesicles ...
