As the immune system ages, it reacts more slowly to pathogens, vaccines become less effective, and the risk of cancer ...

CU Anschutz researchers uncovered a link between a type of mucosal immune cell and gut inflammation, finding that the cells ...

Endurance exercise may train the immune system as much as the muscles. Older adults with decades of running or cycling had immune cells that functioned better and aged more slowly. Their inflammation ...

Unlike infectious agents, cancer cells originate from the patient themselves and can therefore evade immune surveillance. The ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...

Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi were awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Monday for their collective work in the discovery of specialized immune cells that roam ...

A protein notorious for its role in Alzheimer’s disease may hold the key to supercharging the aging immune system, according to new research. Scientists have found that a byproduct of amyloid-beta ...

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body's immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, ...

A carotenoid that's already widely available in fruit and vegetables, and as a supplement, has been found to bolster the cancer-fighting abilities of immune cells, making it a promising new candidate ...

One of the newest weapons that scientists have developed against cancer is a type of engineered immune cell known as CAR-NK (natural killer) cells. Similar to CAR-T cells, these cells can be ...
