Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses ...

Cytokines are the soluble messengers that immune cells produce to either attack an invading organism or to talk to other types of immune cells. They form part of the complex pattern of the immune ...

Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Microbiology and Immunology have made an important new discovery about how a particular molecule could improve lung function for ...

When people become gravely ill from COVID-19, a cytokine storm — their body’s own reaction to the virus — may sometimes make things worse. The phenomenon has been described as “an immune system gone ...

Researchers at Rice University developed a cytokine factory patch that continuously releases healing proteins into wounds, ...

Cancer immunotherapy has advanced significantly in recent years, dramatically improving patient prognosis and survival. The majority of cancer immunotherapy research currently focuses on the first T ...

Cells have sophisticated methods of sensing stimuli and communicating with nearby cells in response to these stimuli. For example, macrophages can sense environmental stimuli—tissue damage, foreign ...

Cytokines are key to immune regulation. Their extensive impact on human biology and disease has led to their long-term therapeutic use in treating cancer and a range of other diseases. Interleukin-2 ...

No potential conflict of interest relevant to this letter was reported. Gaestel M. What goes up must come down: molecular basis of MAPKAP kinase 2/3-dependent regulation of the inflammatory response ...

Over-activation of the immune system may be behind severe cases of COVID-19. Chirag Nagpal/ Shutterstock Despite over 200,000 deaths reported worldwide, scientists are only just beginning to ...

Researchers have discovered in a preclinical model that cytokines, proteins that control immune response, circulating in maternal blood during pregnancy may mitigate an offspring's risk for ...
