Scientists at Scripps Research have developed a novel method that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced imaging techniques to more accurately and efficiently identify therapeutic antibodies to treat infectious diseases.
A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, vaccines and cancer, without the need for preclinical model…
When the lungs are attacked by a virus, the damage doesn’t stop there. The body’s natural defenses cause inflammation while fighting the virus, often leaving lasting problems. The cells that make up the lungs’ mucosal lining are exposed to the environm…
Yale School of Medicine-led research reports that nerve-associated macrophages help maintain healthy fat over a lifespan and curb age-related inflammation.
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have created the first genetically engineered model of lung cancer in naked mole rats, a species long thought to be resistant to cancer. The findings, published in Cancer Discovery, shed light on how cancer begins i…
Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to tackle one of the most complex challenges in immunology: predicting how T cells recognize and respond to specific peptide antigens. Using AlphaFold 3 (AF3), an AI/ML model, designed for…
University of Oxford-led research finds low-dose rapamycin functions as a genomic protector in aging human immune cells, lowering DNA damage.
Sepsis arises from infection and immune dysregulation. Neutrophils play a key role in its progression, yet existing clinical tools cannot simultaneously isolate these cells and measure their functional activity.
A research team from Umeå University, Sweden, in collaboration with Ghent University, Belgium, has made a groundbreaking discovery about how the body’s first immune defense, neutrophils, orchestrate the mobilization of zinc to fight microbes.
A newly discovered “timekeeper” for fighting infections dramatically shapes the body’s immune defenses, offering insight as to why antiviral T cell response varies throughout the day, according to UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers.
