The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

In a paradigm-breaking study, researchers have discovered a novel way the immune system, specifically T cells, attack their target cells, reshaping long-held assumptions in immunology and ...

When a virus enters the lungs, the immune system has to react fast. The lung maintains its own community of immune cells ...

One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...

Work on peacemakers in the immune system won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. The peacemakers are regulatory T cells, a type of immune cell that calms the immune system after it has ...

The immune system works to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Various cell types and immune mechanisms work in concert to fight disease. Specifically, two waves of immunity orchestrate a robust ...

A new method of making cancer cells more visible to the immune system could improve how well immunotherapy works against a ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...
