A team at Scripps Research has created a microchip that can rapidly reveal how a person's antibodies respond to viruses using only a drop of blood. This game-changing technology, called mEM, condenses ...

A new microchip invented by Scripps Research scientists can reveal how a person's antibodies interact with viruses—using just ...

An international research team has deciphered a mechanism of the evolutionary arms race in human cells. The findings provide ...

In biomedical science, the immune system is described as a cellular defense network that identifies and neutralizes threats.

Parkinson’s may begin decades earlier — and your immune system might know first LJI scientists discover that T cells may allow for early detection of Parkinson's cases—years before motor ...

Cornell researchers have discovered that immune tolerance to gut microbes depends on a bacterial-sensing protein called STING, previously known mainly for triggering inflammation, according to the ...

The study is the first to examine the specific cellular changes associated with fire smoke exposure, documenting how smoke can damage the body through the immune system.
