It’s cold and flu season and most of us will encounter a virus at some point. So how does our immune system work to keep us ...

The virus takes control of three key host proteins that suppress the activity of the complement system. Researchers at the ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...

MSK researchers discovered that the innate immune system's chronic activation due to issues in the Mre11 complex can lead to ...

Along with defending against pathogens, the body's innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in unexpected ways -- ways that have important implications for the development of ...

You can do a few things to strengthen your immune system so that you don't get sick as often. While this sounds easy, you may be wondering how exactly to do that. Diet and exercise are always good ...

The immune system, our body’s natural and elite guardian, is connected to almost every type of disease the body encounters and can even build up its own memory, so that—even years later—it ...

There seems to be a constant stream of articles in newspapers and on the internet suggesting that we can ‘boost’ our immune system by taking vitamins, minerals and probiotics, or by eating ...

It is comparatively easy to tell a cell's state of health: On their surface, cells present fragments of almost all the proteins they contain inside. This means the immune system can directly recognize ...

These miniature immune system models -- known as human immune organoids -- mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines.

Along with defending against pathogens, the body’s innate immune system helps to protect the stability of our genomes in ...

“For the first time, we can recreate and sustain complex immunological processes in a synthetic gel, using blood, and ...
