Scientists have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s T cells by blocking a protein called Ant2, essentially rewiring how these cells generate energy. This metabolic reprogramming makes them ...

A protein made by gut cells helps to destroy harmful bacteria in the intestines, according to experiments in mice 1. Roughly 50 proteins in the blood make up the complement system, which forms a ...

Scientists discovered how macrophages, which act as the immune system's first line of defense, tailor their specific responses to various intruders through the independent and cooperative functions of ...

Undertaking a study of proteins found in the complement system, an important part of the immune system, of patients with long COVID, researchers have identified a blood protein ‘signature’ that may ...

Scientists at Scripps Research and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a clue to the molecular cause of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which may also explain why women are at greater ...

Researchers have shown that certain plant proteins resemble human signaling proteins of the immune system and can bind to their receptors. The human immune system is based on cells that communicate ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

From football fields to military training grounds, head injuries are leaving lasting marks on the brain in ways we're only ...

Protein is one of the most talked-about nutrients in the health world, and for good reason. The amino acids we get from proteins help build and repair body tissues, support the immune system, and keep ...
