The emerging role of SETD2 in regulating immune cell function is shedding light on potential therapeutic strategies for a ...

Cancer dysregulates the complex structure of tissues and internal cellular pathways. As a result, the immune system loses its ...

Many major cancers, including those of the lung, breast and prostate gland, spread to the bones as they progress. These bone ...

The emerging role of SETD2 in regulating immune cell function is shedding light on potential therapeutic strategies for a ...

The adaptive immune system develops through infections that people experience. This immune response is slow to develop, highly specific against pathogens, and uses memory cells. In addition, there ...

The immune system has two major components – an innate response and an adaptive response. The innate immune system is the front line of defense; it is constantly on patrol for nonself antigens and is ...

The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the alarm, mobilizing dendritic cells to fan the flames of inflammation.

Many diseases affect men and women differently. Asthma tends to strike men earlier in life, yet more women develop asthma as ...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

Seeing sick-looking faces in virtual reality triggers brain circuit changes related to threat detection and boosts activity of certain immune cells.
