For the roughly 30,000 Americans living with hemophilia and thousands more with rare enzyme deficiencies, treatment often ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

Researchers explore the human immune system by looking at the active components, namely the various genes and cells involved. But there is a broad range of these, and observations necessarily produce ...

Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

Researchers have developed a new method to recreate a robust and functional human immune system in mice using mononuclear cells from the cord blood. This new kind of mice, that count with most of the ...

UPMC and University of Pittsburgh clinician-scientists have weaned and kept multiple liver transplantation patients off of all immunosuppressant drugs for more than three years through a ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

New research suggests a high-salt diet may trick the immune system into prematurely aging the blood vessels, leading to ...

Researchers have identified how a common bacterium is able to manipulate the human immune system during respiratory infections and cause persistent illness. Researchers from The University of ...

Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...

The immune system acts as a critical sentinel of organismal aging, integrating the sensing of physiological states with the ...

A team of researchers from Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University’s Health Sciences have found a mechanism that ...
