Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

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 ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...

Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi won the Nobel Prize in medicine on Monday for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance. Brunkow, 64, is a senior program manager ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

An initiative partly funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK has moved further towards its goal of producing a 'human cell atlas' (HCA) to map every cell type in the human body.

Human virus patterns have been spotted in the highlands of Ethiopia within a community of wild monkeys. Now, ASU is studying these patterns.
