Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the ...

RGC-32, or Response Gene to Complement 32, plays a pivotal role in mediating cellular responses following complement activation. Acting as a regulator of the cell cycle, RGC-32 is implicated in ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

Leveraging human organoid-based mechanistic investigation, researchers reveal how an immunosuppressive drug, antithymocyte ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function ...

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and autoimmune conditions when it turns against the body. The protein, Granzyme K, ...

In a human organoid-based mechanistic investigation, researchers revealed how an immunosuppressive drug, antithymocyte ...
