The Johns Hopkins-developed nanoparticles were able to induce the destruction of the majority of the immune system cells called B cells, which contribute to diseases such as lupus and cancers of the ...

A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely prevented or cured Type 1 diabetes in mice in a study by Stanford Medicine ...

Work on peacemakers in the immune system won the 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. The peacemakers are regulatory T cells, a type of immune cell that calms the immune system after it has ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

One challenge of using cell therapy to treat type 1 diabetes is that this approach requires chronic suppression of the immune system to prevent rejection of donor cells. A Vertex Pharmaceuticals ...

It may be possible to treat type 1 diabetes simply by re-educating the immune system. Researchers at Stanford Medicine have ...

A study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates that genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can ...

Why can the human immune system often remember a vaccination for a whole lifetime? Researchers at ...

For decades, differences in pain between men and women have often been attributed to psychological, emotional or social ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...

University of Chicago researchers developed an mRNA nanoparticle system that triggers cells to produce PD-L1 protein, ...
