CD8+ T cells accumulate in atherosclerotic plaques. LMU researchers identify a crucial signaling pathway—with therapeutic potential.

Researchers from Osaka University found that plasma cells expressing high levels of the protein integrin β7 and the ...

Portuguese researchers identified a type of immune cell that appears to travel to the pancreas to stimulate glucagon ...

due to the immune cell migration away from the lymph nodes. These experiments revealed an important aspect of how psychological stress can dampen the responses leading to autoimmune disorders while ...

Vaccine effectiveness relies on creating a strong antibody response that can be reactivated to fight future infections. Now ...

And in the event of an immune response, different cells are shuttled around. While this process, known as cell migration, is essential for health, it can also go awry and contribute to disease, ...

amoeboid or collective migration. Cell motility is observed in unicellular organisms, is essential for the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms, and is also involved in immune ...

For decades, scientists have explored the potential of bacteria in fighting cancer, but safety and efficacy barriers have ...

Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches.

And in the event of an immune response, different cells are shuttled around. While this process, known as cell migration, is essential for health, it can also go awry and contribute to disease ...
