SLAMF6 is an immune cell receptor whose function was not clear. Does it activate or inhibit cells? The results so far have been contradictory. Now, scientists at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a significant step in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's ...

B cells play a crucial role in immunity against various infectious diseases. However, their role in tuberculosis (TB) has been largely understudied. Emerging evidence suggests that B cells actively ...

The immune system function declines with age, but a team of MIT researchers may have found a way to rejuvenate it. When older mice were injected with mRNA that coded for the creation of ...
