Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles, have discovered that immune cells known as macrophages remain ...

A UCLA study found that macrophages rely on interferon gamma signaling from past infections to preserve innate defenses.

Tiny amounts of signaling molecules hang around on macrophages to pump up responses to repeated threats, offering a target to treat autoimmune conditions.

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

Getting measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite. Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance on bugs the patient has ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function ...
