Once thought to be a flaw in the system, new research suggests that CD4 T cells may actually hold the key to maintaining a ...

Researchers have discovered several rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and even asthma. The discoveries were made ...

This is a story that happens inside a human body. One day, as a Red Blood Cell is delivering oxygen and carbon dioxide, she is assaulted by Pneumococci and rescued by a White Blood Cell. To protect ...

A newly recognized set of T helper cells seems to guard against aging by eliminating harmful senescent cells. Their presence in supercentenarians suggests they may be a key to maintaining a healthier, ...

Researchers have used a new method, ReapTEC, to identify rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders. The immune system is largely made up of a type of white blood cell ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Lupus has been linked to the Epstein-Barr virus – which causes glandular fever, or mono – before, but we now have evidence of ...

Study reveals that moderate fever temperatures (39°C) improve metabolism, proliferation, and effector function of CD4 T cells while reducing regulatory T cell suppression. Study: Subset-specific ...
