The immune system is a complex response of various cells that detect and elicit mechanisms to eliminate disease. This ...

Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases. Your immune system ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) or scleroderma is a rare, chronic, autoimmune disorder that hardens connective tissue and muscle in the body. As a result, this can generate complications associated with skin ...

Scripps Research scientists found that HIV vaccination can lead to the production of anti-immune complex antibodies (blue) that recognize immune complexes composed of antibodies (green) rather than ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are rare and progressive kidney diseases, caused by problems in the immune system. They are two distinct ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are two rare kidney diseases. They’re both driven by activity of the complement system, which is a ...

In the innate immune compartment, short-chain fatty acids can suppress dendritic cell antigen presentation while simultaneously promoting IL-10 and retinoic acid production, favoring an ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime’s worth of information about threats it’s encountered — a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you’ve conquered; others ...
