Cancer and immune cells share the capacity to reprogramme their mitochondrial bioenergetics in response to microenvironmental cues. Tumour cells often engage aerobic glycolysis while retaining ...

Immune cell functions are dictated by their differentiation state and regulated by transcriptional and epigenetic changes. Immune cell differentiation also controls the preferential metabolic pathways ...

A new Review reveals how aging can push the immune system into a paradoxical state, weaker against threats yet more prone to attacking the body’s own tissues.

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

Scientists are trying a revolutionary new approach to treat rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and other devastating autoimmune diseases — by reprogramming patients' out-of-whack immune ...
