Regulatory T cells protect the body from misdirected or overly excited immune responses. A new study highlights previously unknown characteristics of these cells that could guide the development of ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, attacking harmful invaders while protecting your own tissues. When that balance breaks, infections can spread unchecked, or the body ...

Researchers found a way to boost aging immune systems by turning the liver into a temporary source of immune support signals ...

Explore how engineered extracellular vesicles can enhance antigen-specific regulatory T cells to improve immune response.

Early thymic progenitor (ETP) cells, derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, enter the thymus at the cortical-medullary junction (CMJ), retaining multipotent differentiation ...

A research team at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) and the Faculty of Medicine at Kanazawa University has developed a new class of engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs) capable of ...

The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disease characterized by the destruction of myelin sheaths, neuroaxonal damage, glial cell activation and formation of demyelinated plaques in the ...

In a recent perspective review, researchers attempt to collate and discuss scientific knowledge on the concept of the ‘immune self’ and use raw T cell assays, nine amino-long pathogen-derived peptides ...

A groundbreaking study, led by Professor Kyemyung Park and his research team in the Graduate School of Health Science and Technology and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST has shed ...
