Researchers generate cutting-edge mouse models by engrafting human cells and tissue into the animals to better study the human immune system. Scientists have employed mouse models in immunological ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

As we age, the immune system gradually declines in function, leaving the body more vulnerable to disease. Scientists have discovered a new way to rejuvenate a key component of immune function, ...

Your immune system could weigh 1 to 1.2 kilograms and contain 1.8 trillion cells. “The immune system is a complex system comprising many different cell types with essential functions,” says Ron Milo ...

A person’s menstrual cycle may affect their immune system’s response, causing fluctuations throughout the month. The menstrual cycle involves a series of changes in hormone levels and structures ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Recent studies have shown that even if you feel healthy and fit, your immune system could be aging quicker than you think, which could increase the risk of infections and immune-related disorders.

The idea of turning back the clock on the immune system has moved from science fiction to a concrete experimental strategy. A ...
