Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Researchers have determined that type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), a type of immune cell, can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, ...

Taken together, these advances suggest that part of age-related immune decline is driven by specific, potentially reversible ...

Scientists at the Pasteur Institute in France say they have developed artificial lymphoid organ-chips that recreate much of the human immune system’s response to booster vaccines. The technology, ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

A single blood protein can make aging stem cells act young again. As people age and notice changes like graying hair or reduced muscle strength, their immune system also undergoes shifts. One key ...

“Allogeneic transplants can be very effective, and potentially lifesaving, but not all immune cells given to a recipient are reproduced from donor cells,” said Jonathan Serody, MD. “Innate type 2 ...
