Immunology is the branch of biomedical science that studies the immune system: our body’s defense mechanism against infections, diseases, and harmful substances. It explores how immune responses are triggered, how the body distinguishes between self and non-self, and what happens when these processes go awry, leading to conditions like autoimmune disorders, allergies, or immune deficiencies. Immunology also underpins the development of vaccines, immunotherapies, and treatments for infections and cancer. This page features the latest research in immunology, including breakthroughs in understanding immune function, disease resistance, and new therapeutic strategies.
