A new study from researchers at Uppsala University presents novel findings on why human lymph nodes lose their function with age and the consequences for the effectiveness of our immune system. The ...

Explore the innovative concept of bioengineered lymph nodes as a promising solution for lymphedema after cancer surgery.

These findings from research into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are based on analyses of human patients and a murine model. The immunosuppressive role of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in ...

Lymph nodes normally serve as the headquarters of our immune system. When we get an infection or are vaccinated, the lymph nodes are the sites where the immune cells congregate, are activated and ...

For the first time, a person has received an experimental treatment to transform one of their lymph nodes into a functioning miniature liver. We won’t know for months whether the therapy works, but if ...

As people age, their immune system does not function as well as it did when they were younger, probably due to natural aging processes. But new research has found that exposure to air pollution also ...
