Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

What keeps some immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases? In a new paper published in Cellular & Molecular Immunology, USC Stem Cell scientist Rong Lu and her ...

Researchers have determined that type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), a type of immune cell, can change its characteristics and functions after a cancer patient receives stem cells from a donor, ...

Our immune system is divided into two main branches: innate and adaptive. Innate immune cells act as a first line of defense, quickly responding to invaders, while adaptive immune cells take a longer ...

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 ...

“Allogeneic transplants can be very effective, and potentially lifesaving, but not all immune cells given to a recipient are reproduced from donor cells,” said Jonathan Serody, MD. “Innate type 2 ...
