Immune system scientists and computational biologists are developing a new tool to investigate how the body fights disease. With this new resource, called ImmGenMaps, researchers are building a map of ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...

The main lineages of the human immune system are established early in embryonic development and become more diverse and complex in the fetus. They comprise innate immune cells (including monocytes, ...

Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Biology (ASHBi), Kyoto University Researchers at Kyoto University have discovered that “immune hubs” in the kidney create a unique metabolic environment that ...

Study reveals how our immune system transforms across a lifetime—unlocking the potential for predicting disease risk and optimizing health before symptoms appear. Resource: Integrating single-cell RNA ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, defending you from thousands of pathogens that cause disease while sparing your body’s own healthy cells. This careful equilibrium is ...
