A massive analysis of immune cells in human tissue is yielding clues to the root causes of lung and autoimmune diseases.

Every time a virus invades a person, it collides with thousands of years of human history. A study led by researchers at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and Howard University suggests that some of the genes involved in the body's immune response today bear

A disease surveillance strategy modeled on the body's immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than the traditional top-down approach, according to a study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Universidad Pe

A protein that evolved long before the human circulatory system may help unlock stronger cancer treatments. When C3 is produced inside tumors, it blocks immune-suppressing cells and gives immunotherapy a better chance to work. Researchers were even able to recreate this effect in

A new study co-led by professor Valeriya Malysheva, group leader at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology, published in Nature Genetics, uncovers how the three-dimensional organization of DNA in rare immune cells can help explain genetic risk for Crohn's disease and oth

One of the many ways obesity harms the human body is through damage to skeletal muscle. This progressive muscle decline, also known as sarcopenia, reduces strength, mobility and the ability to live independently. Unfortunately, most therapies for obesity and related conditions li

Low arginine levels may allow cancer cells and viruses to slip past the immune system by reducing production of a crucial cellular warning protein. In mice, arginine-rich diets led to fewer colon tumors and milder viral infections, suggesting a simple supplement could have powerf

Stanford researchers discovered immune cells in flatworms that explode within minutes, killing nearby bacteria and foreign cells before vanishing completely. Their unusually fast and localized attack could offer clues for developing targeted treatments against infections and canc

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab have developed a new method to analyze the condition of immune cells in the blood. The method has been tested on patients with atherosclerosis and can distinguish their immune cells from those of healthy individuals. The study i
