Children have largely avoided severe COVID-19 symptoms because they have a strong initial 'innate' immune reaction that quickly defeats the virus. And now, researchers led by scientists at the Garvan ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. Subscribe to ...

NORMAN, OKLA. – A research team at the University of Oklahoma published a study in the journal Advanced Science that presents a new approach to triggering an adaptive immune response. It might sound ...

Trained immunity provides a unifying framework linking innate immune memory to both protective and maladaptive inflammation ...

Immuno-oncology is an evolving field of study on the role of the immune system in cancer initiation and growth. This introductory module describes the purpose of the human immune system, components of ...

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein expresses highly during infection, inducing strong antibody and T cell responses. Until recently, scientist thought that the N protein was exclusively localized ...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. The two major types of IBD are Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Whereas in UC inflammation ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...
