Prize winner’s research reprograms tumor cells to trigger antitumor immunity   Cancer immunotherapies, such as checkpoint ...

A study has identified a metabolic switch in the immune system's T cells that is essential to the generation of memory T cells -- which confer lasting immunity to previously encountered pathogens -- ...

A few years ago, Caetano Reis e Sousa, an immunologist at The Francis Crick Institute, and his team were investigating how the immune system detects tissue damage. They were specifically exploring the ...

The fatality rate for H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza in humans has historically been high, with more than half of people dying. Why, then, is the current H5N1 bird flu outbreak—which has ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

Deepak Bhandari is a postdoctoral researcher in Federica Brandizzi’s lab at Michigan State University. His research investigates how intracellular trafficking and cell-wall remodeling coordinate ...

Berly McCoy and Regina Barber of Short Wave talk about a hawk's clever hunting strategy, contacts that allow wearers to see infrared light, and how immunity varies during the day. It's time for our ...
