A recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers provides evidence that CD4+ T lymphocytes — immune system cells also known as helper T cells — produced by people who received either of the two available messenger...
A team led by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has gained new insights into the mechanism of vaccine-induced T cell immunity utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolic profiling techniques. Though...
Some viruses can hide in our bodies for decades. They make ‘fake’ human proteins that trick our immune cells into thinking ‘everything is awesome’, there’s nothing to see here. Now researchers at the Imaging Centre of...
When it comes to the immune system of newborns, popular belief holds that their immune cells are weak, making them more prone to infection. But a new study from Cornell University in New York, NY, suggests that an...
Among different populations, a vaccine can vary in efficacy against a specific pathogen. Unraveling the discrepancy requires tools to analyze the exact nature of responses by a specific type of immune cell: the T cell...
A recent RNA discovery by a team of scientists at the La Jolla, California-based The Scripps Research Institute could result in medical applications like improved viral vaccines and treatments for autoimmune conditions...
