In the absence of PAMPs, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) produced by dying cells can stimulate an immune response that can elicit the specific recognition of antigens expressed by ...

A new study led by researchers at NYU Langone Health has revealed that a special group of cells found in mouse intestines ...

Tolerogenic dendritic cells in the intestines are shown to reduce the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins.

A study led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), in collaboration with the Instituto ...

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

A new study has revealed that a special group of cells in the intestines tamp down the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins. Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable ...

New research zeroes in on a unique group of immune cells that could transform how we treat—and possibly prevent—severe food allergies like peanut and shellfish.

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how ...

Renier Brentjens, a CAR T-cell pioneer, views armored CAR T-cells as a promising avenue for treating solid tumors and predicts that a treatment could be approved in the next 5-10 years.

I was recently at the American Red Cross to donate blood and was given interesting material on the need for Black blood ...

Nigel McCracken, chief operating officer, Virax Biolabs, discusses results from new data on the role of T cell dysfunction in post-acute infection syndromes.

Researchers at WashU Medicine found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic ...
