#immune system

Microorganisms in the gut influence how the body responds to common cancer treatments, including immunotherapy.

Novel therapies, improved technologies and a better understanding of the immune system could yield broad dividends.

Researchers showed that B cells evolve after COVID-19 vaccination to help improve protection against SARS-CoV-2 over time.

How to reap the benefits of napping.

Have you ever thought about how sleep works and why you do it?

Most American adults don’t get as much sleep as they need each night, which can really add up.

Evidence is growing that contracting SARS-CoV-2 is generally as effective as vaccination at preventing COVID-19.

The immune system has a natural ability to shut down cells that grow out of control, but cancer has many ways to get around these defenses.

Experts call for heightened precautions and better, more intensive therapies for COVID-19 patients with weakened immune systems.

People with immune deficiency may not respond as well to vaccines but could still gain some protection.

A growing field of research suggests that the coronavirus unhinges the immune system more profoundly than previously realized.

This is a good time to talk about how sleep can affect the body’s immune response to a vaccination.

Long-lived memory immune cells continue to provide protection even after antibody levels drop.

Scientists studied the drug, BO-112, using lab dish experiments and a mouse model of melanoma.

Researchers hope to combine gene editing with a less toxic stem cell transplant. Findings may apply to cancer and other illnesses.

Researchers use single-cell RNA sequencing to map changes in immune microenvironment in myeloma precursor conditions.
