New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) illuminates new details about Thetis cells that will support ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy cells? Research into an immune kill switch holds potential for controlling ...

Sepsis is a fatal syndrome characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction originating from a chaotic and unchecked innate immune response to infection. Notably, macrophages are the master ...

Immune-evading CAR-NK cells maintained a population in mice long enough to eliminate cancer whilst avoiding cytokine release syndrome. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard Medical ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth.

Common gut bacteria use protein delivery systems to interact directly with human cells, reshaping how scientists view the ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain’s immune system. New findings spotlight astrocytes—previously overshadowed ...
