Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

T cells play central roles in the adaptive immune response against cancer. Their functional inactivation is a primary driver of tumor progression, making the reactivation of T cell function a main ...

Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and University of California, San Francisco, scientists have developed an epigenetic ...

Our immune systems have the thankless jobs of guarding us from bacterial and viral invaders and preventing cancer development. Most of the time, we do not notice this hard work because the invaders ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

For decades, scientists thought self-tolerance was primarily established in the parts of the body that make immune cells, such as the thymus for T cells and the bone marrow for B cells ... T cells to ...

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...
