Immunologists have identified a previously unrecognized group of immune cells that could reshape how vaccines and immune-based therapies are designed. The newly described cells 1 are long-lived memory ...
Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...
Previously thought to be a bug in the system, new research shows CD4 T cells could be the key to maintaining an age-appropriate immune system BEER-SHEVA, Israel, October 29, 2025 – Ben-Gurion ...
For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell killing. However, growing clinical and single-cell sequencing evidence ...
People who live with obesity are "tagging" a memory of being overweight on a key part of the immune system—leaving people ...
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 ...
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, ...
Non-cardiotoxic anthracycline demonstrates activity where traditional chemotherapies have historically failed, supporting potential expansion of ...
A new study, recently published in Nature, changes that. Researchers showed, for the first time, direct evidence that autoimmunity may play a key role in ALS. 4 Specifically, in individuals with ALS, ...
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 ...
During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...
