Small food protein signals teach immune cells to accept food. The finding helps explain how the body prevents food allergies.

Scientists at the University of East Anglia (U.K.) have uncovered a hidden link between gut health and the immune system—all thanks to a tiny island bird. Researchers studied the Seychelles warbler, a ...

Food allergies are serious and, for some, potentially deadly. And yet, despite decades of research into allergies and what causes them, very little is known about why the vast majority of people are ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

New UAB research uncovers how NFAT helps uterine NK cells support early placenta development, shedding light on pregnancy health and the roots of complications like preeclampsia.

Early pregnancy depends on a remarkable act of coordination. Before the placenta can nourish a growing fetus, the embryo must securely "land" and connect with the mother's blood supply—a process ...

New research co-led by Burnet Institute and WEHI has uncovered how the human immune system fights Plasmodium vivax, paving ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...

Blyth is the founder and former CEO of LIfT BioSciences, a company developing neutrophil-based immunotherapies designed to ...

Stanford researchers reveal how regulatory T cells recognize safe foods by scanning for specific protein signals, opening new paths to prevent and treat food allergies.

Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at ...

Doctors have a new emerging weapon in the fight against cancerous tumors: ultrasound. After a five-year study by the ...
