New research has identified the gene Egr-1 as a critical regulator of immune balance, offering hope for autoimmune disease therapies.

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the ...

Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

An international research team has deciphered a mechanism of the evolutionary arms race in human cells. The findings provide ...

Microglia replacement therapy helps treat people with a rare genetic condition called ALSP, suggesting the approach could ...

An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, ...

In their study, reported June 16 in Immunity, the investigators focused on group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s), immune cells that dwell in the mucosal lining of the gut. Their previous research ...

Metabolic reprogramming is an important player within the immune response to viral infections, allowing immune cells to fine-tune their energy production and biosynthetic requirements while it is ...

Experimental treatments for type 2 diabetes include stem cell therapy, endoscopic re-cellularization via electroporation therapy (ReCET), and combination drug therapies.

Immune cells and SGLT2 expression were quantitated in the spleen, renal lymph nodes (RLNs) and kidneys by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Inflammation, fibrosis, and infiltration by CD8 T cells ...

Innate immune cells present signals on their surface, which adaptive immune cells recognize and become active in response. Therefore, both immune responses work together to provide a protective immune ...

T cells are immune cells responsible for identifying the pathogen and targeting it. Interestingly, many immunotherapies focus on modulating the T cell response and redirecting the cells to the site of ...
