Scientists at Cincinnati Children's have identified how certain immune cells are molecularly programmed to respond faster ...

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, ...

One of the most puzzling aspects of common chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis is how they become chronic.

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

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.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...
