Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases. Your immune system ...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) or scleroderma is a rare, chronic, autoimmune disorder that hardens connective tissue and muscle in the body. As a result, this can generate complications associated with skin ...

Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in ...

Researchers from the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) have applied AI-driven processes for detecting tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in thousands of digital images of melanoma tumor ...

A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the thymus—allowing for better suppression of autoimmune responses. The thymus ...

Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...

C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) are rare and progressive kidney diseases, caused by problems in the immune system. They are two distinct ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime's worth of information about threats it's encountered—a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you've conquered; others ...
