T cells, also known as T lymphocytes, are the immune cells that drive the cellular immune response. There are several different types of T cells, each playing a distinct role. The functions of T cells ...

By profiling over 16 million immune cells from people aged 22 to 65 after flu vaccination, scientists discovered that memory T cell function changes with age.

Scientists have discovered that cells beyond the brain may also play a role in memory formation, a breakthrough that could transform our understanding of memory and lead to new treatments. Researchers ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body? There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

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 ...

T cell therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment—but so far, their success has been largely limited to blood cancers. Solid tumors, which account for around 90% of all adult cancers, remain a ...

Traditionally, memory has been considered a function exclusive to the brain. However, groundbreaking research led by Dr. Nikolay Kukushkin at New York University (NYU) reveals that non-neural human ...
