Researchers at VIB and VUB have developed a powerful new way to study how the immune system behaves inside lung tumors. By ...

Cancer cells can disarm the immune system not just by hiding from it, but by actively reprogramming nearby immune cells into a suppressed state. This previously unrecognized molecular interaction, ...

The immune system is the frontline protection against infection, continually searching for and destroying unknown pathogens.

Men and women experience immune aging differently, affecting disease risks. New data-driven research identifies key ...

But there’s another layer that doesn’t get talked about as often, which is how differently the immune system itself ages from person to person. For women, this can show up in a very specific way.

The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

A new study has found that melanoma can use one protein, HOXD13, to grow new blood vessels while keeping cancer-fighting ...

Scientists have discovered a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, forcing the cells to rewire how they generate energy. This shift makes them more powerful ...

An “immune system reset” cured autoimmune, or Type 1, diabetes in mice in a Stanford Medicine study. The approach may be useful for other autoimmune conditions as well as organ transplants.

Why should the immune system not be “boosted,” but instead supported through consistent, healthy habits? Learn how the immune system works and some key nutrients—like vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, and ...

As the temperature drops and sniffles start making their rounds, we’re all thinking about ways to strengthen our immunity: vitamin C, hand sanitizer, maybe a flu shot. But while you’re focused on ...

How are bacterial pathogens able to effectively overcome plants' defense mechanisms? Researchers working with Professor Şuayb ...
