An army of flu-fighting immune cells lives on in the nose long after infection. Immune cells called T cells are a key part of ...

Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body's immune system, on its head, opening the door to ...

Overall, the findings demonstrate how mitochondrial respiration is required for T-cell proliferation and memory formation, which may help inform the development of new therapeutic strategies that ...

A study reveals epigenetic priming allows memory T cells to respond faster, with transcription factor networks maintaining ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine have identified a possible way to make longer ...

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody ...
