Scientists have developed a method to reprogram cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside the body, potentially eliminating the need for complex lab-based manufacturing. Early results show rapid ...

Plant immunity is largely initiated at the cellular level, with each cell capable of autonomous detection and response, while ...

Endometriosis is a painful, debilitating condition affecting 10% of women worldwide. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (known as lesions) grows elsewhere in the body—usually ...

A new form of CAR T kills leukemia, multiple myeloma, and sarcoma in mice, opening the door to a future off-the-shelf cancer ...

The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Abstract: The possibility of achieving real-time evaluation of human pose enables the ability to control robotic platforms based on user’s pose (or even on user’s inertial properties) in ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

The powerful gene-editing technique CRISPR–Cas9 might offer a way to make safer, more effective cancer-fighting immune cells engineered inside the human body, a mouse study has found. Cancer-fighting ...

Purdue researchers created a contraceptive vaccine that sharply cuts fertility to help manage wildlife overpopulation humanely.

Ginger isn't the only food that can boost your immunity. Citrus fruits, fermented foods, leafy greens, and fatty fish can help boost immunity, too.

A new wave of immuno-therapies is reshaping the fight against cancer, turning the body’s own immune system into a powerful ...
