Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as pivotal sentinels of the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive responses by processing and presenting antigens to T cells. Their inherent versatility enables them ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches. As part of the innate immune system, ...

For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...

Research by RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences has provided new insights into the mechanism behind how our circadian 24-hour body clock influences our immune response to vaccines, ...

The most common side effects of mRNA vaccines like the COVID-19 shot are well known: soreness, mild fever, and general malaise. Those symptoms, which typically resolve within days, are the natural ...

HIV exhausts the body's immune system by overactivating it, despite effective antiviral treatment. Researchers from Linköping ...

The gastrointestinal tract is continuously exposed to foreign antigens in food and commensal microbes that have the potential to induce adaptive immune responses for food allergies. Upon genetic ...

The intestinal immune system can usually recognize friend from foe. But for approximately 30 million Americans with food allergies—including four million children—immune cells mistakenly identify food ...
