Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Innate immune sensors—known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs)—detect specific molecular components of bacterial or viral intruders. The PRRs forward the signals which results in the production ...

The intricate dance of the immune system has long been choreographed from an adult perspective, with newborns seemingly waiting in the wings. But a groundbreaking study from Cornell University has ...

Virus-associated cancers are a significant and persistent global health challenge, providing unique insight into the relationship between chronic infection ...
