There are two categories of lymphocytes, known as B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. People commonly refer to these as B cells and T cells. The job of T cells is to help the body kill cancer cells ...
The mammalian immune system is an evolutionary wonder. It's capable of recognizing and destroying cancer cells, and it can ...
Scientists have discovered that female hormones like estrogen and progesterone can trigger immune cells near the spinal cord ...
Some stay in the marrow and develop into B lymphocytes (B cells); others travel to the thymus and become T lymphocytes (T cells). These two cell types have different roles. B lymphocytes produce ...
Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors — a smart fighter that destroys ...
Our immune systems develop to recognize what is foreign within our bodies. As immune cells are generated in the bone marrow ...
A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism that acts via an immune cell and points toward a different way of treating chronic ...
US researchers have engineered a new ‘smart’ immune cell that when activated by ultrasound can continuously sense and destroy ...
