Scientists discovered how macrophages, which act as the immune system's first line of defense, tailor their specific responses to various intruders through the independent and cooperative functions of ...

Scientists have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, essentially rewiring how these cells generate energy. This metabolic reprogramming makes them ...

Undertaking a study of proteins found in the complement system, an important part of the immune system, of patients with long COVID, researchers have identified a blood protein ‘signature’ that may ...

The result is one molecule that can be both a checkpoint degrader and a cancer vaccine ( Nature 2026, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025 ...

From football fields to military training grounds, head injuries are leaving lasting marks on the brain in ways we're only ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and the Medical University of Innsbruck discovered that SARS-CoV-2 hijacks three important host proteins that dampen the activity of the complement ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

Swiss scientists have identified immune system abnormalities in patients with long COVID that might open the door to new diagnostic tests and treatments. The researchers found that a group of proteins ...
