T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...
A new study shows how person-to-person variation in antibody immunity plays a key role in shaping which influenza (flu) strains dominate in a population. A new study has shown that person-to-person ...
From your digestive system to sleep, here are the overlooked signals that indicate your health could be struggling ...
Inhibiting the herpes simplex virus type 1 viral enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase reactivates the natural defense protein apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-1 (APOBEC1) in the ...
This figure shows T cell infiltration (green) and cell death (pink) in controls (left) and test tumors from CMV-infected mice after treatment with CMV peptides. Researchers at the University of ...
The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua W. Modell ...
