U.S. and Chinese researchers appear to have unlocked a novel way to stop T cells from attacking the body in MS and other ...

An engineered protein turns off the kind of immune cells most likely to damage tissue as part of Type-1 diabetes, hepatitis, ...

A new study, published recently in Nature Communications, offers the first-ever map of which parts of the Chikungunya virus ...

T lymphocytes bearing γ- and δ-chain T-cell receptor heterodimers are named γδ T cells. Interestingly, γδ and αβ T cells share the same progenitors, and they undergo a fate decision in the ...

These T cells can apparently migrate from the gut to the brain. This is the first reported evidence of T cells in the healthy brain. The findings have been published in Nature. While T cells have been ...

Strict control of T-cell homeostasis is required to permit normal immune responses and prevent undesirable self-targeted responses. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has been shown to have an ...

By combining various gene and cellular biology techniques, they demonstrated that the neuropeptide receptor RAMP3 plays a key role in how T cells develop using preclinical models.

T cells, biology textbooks teach us, are the soldiers of the immune system, constantly on the ready to respond to a variety of threats, from viruses to tumors. However, without rest and ...
