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 ...

The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding ...

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 ...
