Mysterious macrophages, found to rapidly digest dying B cells, may hold clues to future treatments of autoimmune disorders.

By silencing the molecular pathway that prevents macrophages from attacking our own cells, scientists have manipulated these white blood cells to eliminate solid tumors.

Using organoids as a stand-in for the bowel, researchers find that plastic particles we unintentionally consume may trigger inflammatory responses.

By closely investigating some of the immune cells generated during immunotherapy, known as CD4 T cells, scientists discovered that these cells are capable of remotely neutralizing tumor cells by producing interferon gamma.

Researchers have shown that the inflammatory molecule IL-17 has a key function in skin aging.

A new study that sheds light on how B cells react to skin cancer cells could pave the way for innovative therapy design.

Some microbes in the guts of humans and mice may help control the buildup of plaque in arteries, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, by gobbling up a group of inflammatory chemicals before they can circulate in the body.

New study suggests some vaccines could induce a protective shift in the microorganisms that live with a host organism.

A research team has engineered tissue with human cells that mosquitoes love to bite and feed upon with the goal of helping fight deadly diseases transmitted by the biting insects.

Researchers have found that reverse-pressure sterilization can produce a less-allergenic shrimp product that, when tested in mice sensitive to the crustaceans, did not cause severe reactions.
