The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

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

Not only does our body change with age, but so does our immune system. A recent study led by the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) shows exactly how immune cells age and how ...

Researchers have shown unprecedented control of SIV replication and decay of viral reservoirs by combining a stringent model of infection with the interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The ...

To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems. These miniature models - known as ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Study reveals how our immune system transforms across a lifetime—unlocking the potential for predicting disease risk and optimizing health before symptoms appear. Resource: Integrating single-cell RNA ...

Sepsis remains a major challenge in modern medicine, claiming millions of lives each year. For decades, clinical management has largely focused on suppressing excessive inflammation. Yet many patients ...

Live Science spoke with the scientists behind an upcoming clinical trial testing an immune therapy for depression.
