As populations age worldwide, the decline of the immune system, a process known as immunosenescence, has become a critical biomedical challenge. This decline leads to increased susceptibility to ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

A research team led by Prof. Gu Hongcang and Zhang Fan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-driven ...

Researchers identified a key metabolite in cells that helps direct immune responses and explains at a single cell level why immune cells that most efficiently recognize pathogens, vaccines, or ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic, various new infectious diseases continue to emerge, posing ongoing viral threats that demand robust and sustained immune defenses. However, excessive immune reactions ...

A new study has uncovered a key difference between the immune system of males and females - and it comes down to a single gene. It is known that biological sex affects the function of the immune ...

A novel tumor suppressor, BATF2, can be silenced by factors in the tumor microenvironment, leading to a reduced immune response in five preclinical models of head and neck cancer, according to ...
