An evolutionary perspective on immune priming across plants and invertebrates highlights the roles of microbiomes and epigenetic regulation in shaping innate immune memory with promising applications ...

In a recent perspective review, researchers attempt to collate and discuss scientific knowledge on the concept of the ‘immune self’ and use raw T cell assays, nine amino-long pathogen-derived peptides ...

Researching the immune system in space could have payoffs for human aging on earth. Scientists have revealed how the lack of gravity affects the cells of the immune system at single cell resolution.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has done one thing, it’s made us all more familiar with some of the important players in the immune system. Antibodies, B cells, and T cells are among the best known parts of ...

Tom Anchordoquy receives funding for this work from the Nationals Institutes of Health through grant # RO1 CA289447. When the first cells appeared on Earth approximately 3.8 billion years ago, viruses ...

During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the rate of serious illness and death was jarringly high in older populations. Why? Weakening immune systems — as we age, we become more vulnerable to infections, ...

Covid-19 taught us valuable lessons. One was the finding of a difference in immune system responses to virus infection among patients. People with certain underlying medical conditions are at a higher ...

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 ...
