Investigators led by Navdeep Chandel, Ph.D., the David W. Cugell, MD, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, have discovered how the metabolism of mitochondria supports ...

While we tend to quickly forget having been ill or having received a vaccine, the immune system remembers remarkably well. It has memory B cells—"trained" immune cells that circulate throughout the ...

Research from Radboud university medical center reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of ...

The human brain contains roughly 86 billion neurons, and for decades scientists have assumed that these cells are the primary ...

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 ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

HIV can damage the brain and cause memory and cognitive problems. And once HIV enters the brain, it does not leave. HIV ...

T lymphocytes differentiate from naïve precursors upon antigen encounter into distinct effector and memory subsets. Following priming by antigen-presenting cells in lymphoid tissues, naïve CD4+ and ...

A new study uses optogenetics and roflumilast to prove sleep deprivation blocks memory retrieval, not storage.

Research from Radboud University Medical Center reveals that T cells from the adaptive immune system can manipulate the memory of innate immune cells. Previously, it was believed that the memory of ...

T-bet expression is required for persistence of memory B cells that have rapid differentiation potential to become antibody-producing plasma cells in response to a second infection BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...
