Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

A study has identified a metabolic switch in the immune system's T cells that is essential to the generation of memory T cells -- which confer lasting immunity to previously encountered pathogens -- ...

New findings could aid future development of more efficient therapeutic strategies in the context of regenerative medicine and aging.

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 ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Oregon Medical Research Center in Portland, Oregon, has led a phase 2 trial in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis that ...

Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are congenital vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal lymphatic development, leading to ...

Complete clearance lasts for a very long time due to knockout of resident memory T cells within the skin,’ said the study’s ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...
