Prostate cancer has long frustrated immunologists. Checkpoint inhibitors that unleash the immune system against tumors in the skin, lung, and bladder have largely fallen short in the prostate, in part ...

An interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a technology to decode immune cell communication. By measuring interactions between cells, the method offers insights into how the human body ...

In a study of historic scale, scientists have created an intricate map of how the immune system functions, examining the detailed molecular structures governing human T cells using the next-generation ...

Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure remains elusive. Now they have something that benefits any scientific effort.

A first-of-its-kind comprehensive map of the network of connections in the human immune system has uncovered previously unknown interactions and filled in gaps in understanding why approved ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...

The human immune system is a network made up of trillions of cells that are constantly circulating throughout the body. The cellular network orchestrates interactions with every organ and tissue to ...

Researchers have mapped how the immune response in people with sepsis changes over time. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when there is misfiring of the immune response to infection.

The immune system depends on molecular alarms that detect danger inside cells. One of these alarms is STING, short for "stimulator of interferon genes". STING helps cells respond to infections, ...
