The gastric bacterium H. pylori colonizes the stomachs of around half the human population and can lead to the development of gastric cancer. It is…
Researchers from the Yale Cancer Center have identified that two genes, NR4A1 and ABC transporters, mark a distinct subset of quiescent T cells within human…
New research from Yale University shows that the hormone FGF21, which extends lifespan in mice by 40%, protects against the loss of immune function that…
New research from Yale University is exploring how beneficial bacteria that live in the gut might trick the body into an autoimmune reaction known as…
New research from Yale University shows that the protein known as Nlrp6 plays a key role in the overall immune response that provides immediate defense…
New research from MIT reveals how the immune system can create cancerous DNA mutations when fighting off infection. Chronic inflammation caused by disease or exposure…
New research shows that TH17 cells can convert from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory, revealing a possible therapeutic strategy for inflammation-mediated diseases. A type of immune cell…
By stimulating both major branches of the immune system, researchers from MIT were able to halt the growth of a very aggressive form of melanoma…
