Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...

CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...
