Most humans have long-lived infections in various tissues—including in the nervous system—that typically do not result in disease. The microbes associated with these infections enter a latent stage ...

A team has identified a previously unknown phase of the immune response. The results challenge long-standing assumptions about the process called 'T-cell priming'. These new insights have significant ...

In a new experiment, scientists used virtual reality to show that the brain can sense virtual infection to trigger the body’s immune system, before the first microbe ever makes contact. Study: Neural ...

The team’s research provides compelling evidence for the brain’s influence on physiology. A deeper understanding of this mind ...

Antibodies, which recognize viruses and proteins that the body has encountered before, have long gotten most of the credit for giving the human immune system a memory. Now, researchers at the ...

Scientists generally agree that eukaryotes, the domain of life whose cells contain nuclei and that includes almost all multicellular organisms, originated from a process involving the symbiotic union ...

RA patients on upadacitinib and methotrexate showed robust antibody and T-cell responses to the recombinant zoster vaccine over 60 weeks. The vaccine maintained a satisfactory humoral response in 71.4 ...
