A study has identified a metabolic switch in the immune system's T cells that is essential to the generation of memory T cells -- which confer lasting immunity to previously encountered pathogens -- ...

If you've been hopping between arms for booster shots, a new study suggests that your lymph nodes remember exactly where you first got jabbed and perform far better when you return to that same arm.

A five-year, $18.5 million grant will allow University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers to investigate T and B tissue-resident memory cells, known as TRM and BRM cells, in three unique sites — ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

A multinational collaboration co-led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has uncovered a potential explanation for why some cancer patients receiving a type of immunotherapy called checkpoint ...

During vaccination, the immune system is purposefully exposed to weakened, inactivated, or a component of pathogens so that the body can recognize their molecular structures in the future and mount a ...
