A new approach targets the B-cell pathway with bispecific antibodies, building on decades of research that establishes the ...

CU Anschutz researchers uncovered a link between a type of mucosal immune cell and gut inflammation, finding that the cells ...

Malignant tumors are often described as immune-suppressive or "immune cold," meaning the patient's immune system does not recognize or attack the tumors. Patients with these tumors typically respond ...

There's a new frontier in treating autoimmune diseases. Today's treatments tamp down the friendly fire but don't fix what's ...

A newly recognized set of T helper cells seems to guard against aging by eliminating harmful senescent cells. Their presence in supercentenarians suggests they may be a key to maintaining a healthier, ...

What are called autoimmune diseases can affect just about every part of the body — and tens of millions of people. While most ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

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 ...

Once thought to be a flaw in the system, new research suggests that CD4 T cells may actually hold the key to maintaining a ...

One of humanity's most ubiquitous infectious pathogens bears the blame for the chronic autoimmune condition called systemic ...
