Scientists have discovered that our specialized immune cells, called T cells, are what they eat -- their switch from functional to 'exhausted' depends on the switch from metabolizing acetate to ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

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 ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

What the research is about Shigellosis is an infectious disease that causes severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloody ...

The immune system remains seriously out-of-whack—in an inflammatory state of overactivation and impaired ...
