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 ...

A central component of the human immune system, the NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in fighting off infections. However, its chronic activation is also implicated in a variety of common ...

Maintaining good overall health is key to living a long life, but we may want to particularly focus on the state of our brain ...

The human immune system is a remarkable evolutionary tool that is often taken for granted—until, that is, something gets past its cellular defenses.

AI provides the tools to unravel the immense complexity of the human immune system and transform the future of human health.

By using advanced screening methods to tune into the communications taking place between individual cells, scientists have produced the first full connectivity map of the human immune system. This ...

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems.

Learning from the Human Immune System The human immune system is a marvel of natural engineering, capable of identifying and neutralizing a vast array of pathogens.

The immune system is very complex, with many different types of immune cells, each with a specific function. There are two major components, beginning with the innate immune system, the one you ...

For the first time, scientists have bred mice with fully fledged human immune systems. The researchers say these human-like animals will enhance drug development.

Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina and Cincinnati Children’s have developed miniature human colons with immune system components. This model improves upon existing ...

To that end, Swedish biologists used an experiment here on Earth to simulate what happens to a human’s immune system in microgravity, the “weightlessness” experienced by space travelers.
