Using precise molecular techniques, including single-cell RNA sequencing, the team showed that this process is mediated in part by the effects of CD4 T cells on CD8 T cells – another subset of white ...

The brain and spinal cord were once thought to enjoy immune privilege, meaning they were believed to be largely insulated from immune activity elsewhere in the body. In recent years, however, ...

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also—in a particular subset of T cells—cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, Vanderbilt ...

This figure shows primary T cells modified using two approaches. CAR receptors are introduced through targeted DNA insertion (top), while CRISPRoff mRNA and guide RNAs silence additional genes through ...
