A new set of tools allows researchers to tag cells that receive signals from immune molecules called cytokines. The method reveals, for the first time, when, where, and how cells react and allows ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function while conserving energy, according to researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Caption: Human neutrophils visualized under a confocal microscope with cell membranes stained red and nuclei blue. When faced with an infection during food shortages, stress hormones trigger an immune ...

A novel bioengineering strategy utilizing peptide display technology on the AAV1 capsid has successfully generated ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...

Increasing activity in a deep-brain region can boost the immune system’s response to vaccines—and people can be trained to do it themselves using the power of brain scans and positive thinking, ...

Piezoelectric nanoparticles deployed inside immune cells and stimulated remotely by ultrasound can trigger the body's disease-fighting response, according to an interdisciplinary team of Boston ...

In this study, we characterized the immune responses to the tattoo ink accumulating in the lymph nodes (LNs). This is very relevant as tattoo ink commonly reaches and persists in this organ in most ...

A study out of UF and MD Anderson Cancer Center shows patients with advanced lung or skin cancer taking certain drugs lived longer if they also got a COVID shot within 100 days of starting treatment.

The mRNA covid-19 vaccines seem to have an unexpected benefit: extending the lives of people being treated for cancers by boosting the effectiveness of immunotherapy. An analysis of the records of ...
