By moving around, some cancer cells force attacking immune cells to just nibble at the edges rather than engulf them ...

Are stress and sleepless nights silently damaging your immune system? This powerful new study reveals how anxiety and ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade this control: they block defense mechanisms or send inhibitory signals. In ...

Northwestern scientists said they found pancreatic cancer cells play a trick on a person's immune system by wearing a sugar ...

Sneaky parasite evades the human immune system by stripping cells and wearing them as a disguise Parasites are known to infect human cells through a variety of ingenious mechanisms. Many of them have ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. Immune cells that are designed to ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Our body controls the levels of sugar in our blood with a hormone called insulin, which is made by beta cells in the pancreas ...

As the immune system weakens with age, researchers have found a way to temporarily boost its function by reprogramming liver cells to support T-cell development.

One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...
