T cells are central to adaptive immunity, orchestrating targeted responses against infections and malignancies while forming a durable immunological memory. Memory T cells, particularly CD8+ subsets, ...

Deep in the lungs, resident memory B cells stand guard against influenza reinfection—but whether they remain there may depend ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

Every flu season, injectable vaccines prime the immune system to produce antibodies that circulate through the bloodstream.

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 ...

Researchers at NYU Langone Health propose a model that could explain how cancer cells adapt to environmental stress, an ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Think of a time when you had two different but similar experiences in a short period. Maybe you attended two holiday parties in the same week or gave two presentations at work. Shortly ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...
