A microscopic parasite that can live for decades in the human brain infects an estimated one-third of the world's population ...

The parasite that may already live in your brain can infect the very immune cells trying to destroy it, but new UVA Health ...

As the trained killers of the immune system, cytotoxic T cells silently save our lives every day—vanquishing viruses before they can run amok, and putting nascent cancer cells out of business before ...

In a recent study published in Nature Methods, researchers developed "scAtlasVAE," a deep-learning model to integrate large-scale single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing (scRNA-seq) data, ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of "non-self" tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

Higher levels of CD4-positive naïve T cells in patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma are associated with ...

Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells are key drivers of alopecia areata, mediating epithelial cell death and immune infiltration. JAK inhibitors are approved for AA treatment, but recurrence is common, ...
