SLAMF6 is an immune cell receptor whose function was not clear. Does it activate or inhibit cells? The results so far have been contradictory. Now, scientists at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques ...

Innate immunity is a foundational field in immunology, critical for understanding how organisms sense and respond to danger, be it pathogens or sterile ...

T cells are positioned at the frontline of the body's immune system to fight infection, cancer, and autoimmune disease. While different subtypes of T cells exist, how these cells take their different ...

Scientists have uncovered a new role for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA molecules, researchers found, help regulate antiviral signaling. These signals ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how an innovative and stable mRNA-LNP microneedle vaccine elicits humoral and multifunctional cellular immune responses.

Much like humans generate mountains of garbage, our cells are constantly discarding proteins that are damaged or no longer needed. The cellular waste disposal system called the proteasome is best ...

Vaccine efficacy against infection wanes, but does everyone need a 2nd booster? This is a MedPage Today story. As the U.S. experiences a dip in COVID-19 cases and mask mandates are being lifted, some ...

Detailed immune profiling in long-term care populations reveals that SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and infections drive powerful virus-specific responses while leaving lifelong common cold immunity largely ...
