Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

Microscopy images of antigen-inexperienced (‘naïve’) mouse CD8 T cells (green). A subset of these cells expresses Dapl1 protein (red), identifying a population committed to a memory stem-like lineage.

Groundbreaking research from NYU reveals non-neural human cells can remember chemical signals. This challenges the long-held belief that only the brain stores memories. Cells exposed to spaced signals ...

The reformulation of Shiseido’s serum promises to slow down aging on a cellular level—a process that could also impact medical advancements in preventing cancer and other diseases. Shiseido's new ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

Cytotoxic T cells are an important component of the immune system. Once activated, they differentiate into either short-lived effector cells or long-lived memory cells. Studies by researchers at ETH ...

T cells, also known as T lymphocytes, are the immune cells that drive the cellular immune response. There are several different types of T cells, each playing a distinct role. The functions of T cells ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...
