The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Tumors are stressful places for cancer-fighting immune cells. Low oxygen, high acid levels, and other stressors put strain on ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a ...

When the lungs are attacked by a virus, the damage doesn't stop there. The body's natural defenses cause inflammation while ...

Cancer dysregulates the complex structure of tissues and internal cellular pathways. As a result, the immune system loses its ability to effectively target tumor cells. The immune system is made up of ...

Lung tumors don't just evade the immune system. They reshape it at its source. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

This may help treat chronic wounds or diabetic ulcers—and one day maybe degenerative diseases, nerve damage and bone ...

Lung tumors don't just evade the immune system. They reshape it at its source. Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators report in the September 10 online issue of ...

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system’s ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue University’s W. Andy Tao and his associates have developed a new way to study ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a study finds, furthering the understanding of the possible effects of ...
