Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

Study dissects HIV reservoir clones that persist on ART, revealing how CD8+ T cells and resistance pathways could be harnessed for future cure strategies.

Higher levels of CD4-positive naïve T cells in patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma are associated with longer PFS, suggesting T-cell composition may serve as a biomarker to ...

In a recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers engineered Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) CD4 T cells, a technology originally revolutionized for cancer ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...

Researchers identify specific immune markers, like activated monocytes and cytokines, that drive cognitive decline after viral infections across various diseases.

The brain and spinal cord were once thought to enjoy immune privilege, meaning they were believed to be largely insulated from immune activity elsewhere in the body. In recent years, however, ...
