When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

The field of immunology of ageing is rapidly evolving, with T cells playing a pivotal role in maintaining immune competence and overall organismal ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

The immune system is made of various cell types that take on critical roles to fight off foreign pathogens. These subsets of cells make up two distinct bar | Immunology ...

SEATTLE — Tissue resident memory (TRM) T cells are a hot topic lately in the treatment of psoriasis. These cells reside in the skin and other tissues and promote the inflammatory response, likely ...

T-bet expression is required for persistence of memory B cells that have rapid differentiation potential to become antibody-producing plasma cells in response to a second infection BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...
