A new study identifies an extreme but effective way that brain immune cells can prevent the parasite Toxoplasma gondii from spreading: they kill themselves to eliminate the dangerous microbes they ...

A Brossay Lab study reveals how nonclassical CD8+ T cells can be activated by molecules that go undetected by classical CD8+ ...

A parasite that may already be hiding in your brain has a shocking survival trick: it can infect the very immune cells sent ...

Powerful white blood cells referred to as CD8 killer T cells enable the body to control infections and fight cancer. But when they become exhausted, they can become dysfunctional and ineffective.

These immune CD8 T cells may provide a target for treating the buildup of fatty lesions in the arteries called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the underlying pathology of heart attacks and strokes ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

New research suggests that Epstein-Barr virus may actively provoke the immune system in people with multiple sclerosis. Scientists found large buildups of virus-targeting immune cells in the nervous ...
