The immune system is the body’s tool for preventing or limiting infection. Its complex network of cells, organs, proteins, and tissues enables the immune system to defend the body from pathogens.

Harvard Medical School scientists have identified a key protein in the human immune system that drives inflammatory and ...

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. There are over 80 types, including Type 1 ...

But why the virus might cause the body's immune system to go haywire remains unknown ... Theoretically, these viral proteins ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

Researchers have discovered that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a persistent effect on the innate immune system. These mechanisms may help the human body to better protect itself against potential ...

A study by Oregon Health & Science University researchers has uncovered a new way proteins can be changed inside cells. This ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne have found that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines have a lasting impact on the innate immune system. These mechanisms could enhance the body's ability to defend ...

Our gut bacteria breaks down that dietary lysine into pipecolic acid, and lysine may also be converted to pipecolic acid by an enzyme already present in the human body. Liu then wondered whether ...

The transplant came after about a decade of earlier studies and transplants by Wang and his team of gene-edited organs from ...

Scientists used advanced data analysis and machine learning to identify the viral proteins that may trigger autoimmune disorders such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
