In a recent study published in Immunology, researchers investigated populations of regulatory T cells (Treg), a type of white blood cell, in various tissues. Study: The tissue-resident regulatory T ...

New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

Humans (and all animals, really) are pretty complex. We are made of many different organs, types of muscles, bones, and a whole host of other things, all of which need to work together in order to ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign antigens that are expressed by invading bacteria and viruses from self-antigens that are expressed by cells of the body. If not, the ...

With an upfront cost in the thousands, LifeCellsNI will allow the public to freeze their genetic material for future ...
