Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

A recent Nature Immunology study explores the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during viral infection. Lymphoid tissues play a vital role in ...

Researchers have determined that type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), a type of immune cell, can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, ...

Scientists at the Pasteur Institute in France say they have developed artificial lymphoid organ-chips that recreate much of the human immune system’s response to booster vaccines. The technology, ...

Taken together, these advances suggest that part of age-related immune decline is driven by specific, potentially reversible ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

“Allogeneic transplants can be very effective, and potentially lifesaving, but not all immune cells given to a recipient are reproduced from donor cells,” said Jonathan Serody, MD. “Innate type 2 ...
