We’ve all had moments when we, for some reason, can’t remember something minor — the name of that hotel in Miami we loved, ...

Scientists have discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters an ineffective, exhausted state.

For San Diego researchers and the wider immunotherapy community, the atlas functions as a practical roadmap. It does not ...

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

This image shows killer T cells surrounding and attacking a cancer cell. A new atlas developed by researchers at UC San Diego could make it possible to design custom T cells for immunotherapy to ...

Alzheimer’s may destroy memory by flipping a single molecular switch that tells neurons to prune their own connections. Researchers found that both amyloid beta and inflammation converge on the same ...

When I was a high school student, my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with dementia. This became a reality after her husband died. My mom moved her into our home thinking we might be able to keep ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...
