Tissue-resident macrophages are crucial players in the immune system, acting as the first line of defense and maintaining tissue homeostasis by responding to various environmental challenges and ...

Over the past two decades, new technologies have helped scientists generate a vast amount of biological data. Large-scale experiments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and cytometry can ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that regulates the immune response against parasites. During a parasitic infection, specific immune cells, known as virtual memory T cells ...

Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that regulates the immune response against parasites. During a parasitic infection, specific immune cells ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

Tumors actively prevent the formation of immune responses by so-called cytotoxic T cells, which are essential in combating cancer. Researchers have now uncovered for the first time how this exactly ...

Virtual memory T cells (T VM), activated by IL-4 during a parasitic infection in the intestine, expressing the CD22 receptor, which enables them to regulate this activation. Researchers at the ...
