In this Ask the Researcher, we spoke with Professor David Tarlinton to learn more about long-lived plasma cells; how they are made and how they are stored.

A study suggests that the underproduction of mucosal-associated invariant T cells contributes to Alzheimer’s disease, and increasing these immune cells could reverse the damage.

A new study from UC Santa Cruz has pointed toward a proposed mechanism for the formation of introns in the genomes of prokaryotes.

Scientists studied pregnant mice on a high-fat diet. In findings appearing in the journal Nature Metabolism, they found that mom’s high-fat diet triggers immune cells in the developing brains of male but not female mouse pups to overconsume the mood-influencing brain chemical serotonin, leading to depressed-like behavior.

Scientists have developed an electrochemical immunosensor that rapidly detects antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

Scientists have pinpointed rogue immune cells as a major contributor to autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and aplastic anaemia.

A vaccine tablet has been designed that dissolves when placed under the tongue, allowing mucus-penetrating nanofibers that contain E. coli proteins to enter the body and produce an immune response, preventing UTIs.

The movement patterns of microscopic algae can be mapped in greater detail than ever before, giving new insights into ocean health, thanks to new technology developed at the University of Exeter.

A new study by University of Alberta scientists has helped to classify ~600 fungi that, previously, lacked a place among the fungi family tree.
