Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg ...

A study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates that genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can ...

The most comprehensive map of the developing human thymus sheds light on how immune responses are built and maintained at early life, with implications for understanding and treating immunodeficiency, ...

Measles is doing far more damage than its signature rash suggests. A growing body of research shows the virus can wipe out a substantial share of the immune system’s existing defenses against other ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...

Scientists identified a gene switch that helps immune cells fully mature, allowing them to clean up tissues and keep our organs healthy.

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems. These miniature models - known as ...

In recent years, we have all become much more aware of our health and the importance of a strong immune system. However, alongside this awareness, a widespread false belief has emerged - the idea that ...

To find these differences, the researchers compared immune cells and proteins from blood samples derived from 19 infants hospitalized with RSV infections, 30 infants hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 ...
