B cells are an important part of the immune system and help the body recognize and fight infections. A group of B cells known ...

A collaborative study published in Immunity from the Batista Lab and Liu Lab at the Ragon Institute, together with the Schief Lab at Scripps Research Institute, has uncovered a previously unrecognized ...

For pathogens like HIV, malaria, and rapidly evolving influenza strains, coaxing the immune system to produce the rare, highly potent antibodies needed for protection has long been a scientific ...

When the immune system encounters a virus, it produces antibodies designed to recognize and eliminate the invader. But in some people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, the ...

Patients who undergo allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, in which blood-forming stem cells come from a donor rather than the patient, face a persistent immunological dilemma. The ...

As the immune system weakens with age, scientists have found a way to restore some of its lost strength. By delivering mRNA to the liver, they created a temporary source of immune-boosting signals ...
