Researchers generate cutting-edge mouse models by engrafting human cells and tissue into the animals to better study the human immune system. Scientists have employed mouse models in immunological ...

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 ...

During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the rate of serious illness and death was jarringly high in older populations. Why? Weakening immune systems — as we age, we become more vulnerable to infections, ...

Currently developed cancer immunotherapies modify the interaction of cancer cells and the immune system, making drug testing targeting human cancer outside of clinical trials difficult. Kobe ...

A person’s menstrual cycle may affect their immune system’s response, causing fluctuations throughout the month. The menstrual cycle involves a series of changes in hormone levels and structures ...

Trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), the most abundant trans fatty acid found in human breast milk, helps boost immune system development and has long-lasting effects on immune system health in mice, according ...

Balanced immune responses in the eyes are crucial to preserve vision. The ocular immune system has long been considered distinct, owing to the so-called ‘immune privilege’ of its component tissues.
