The immune system may learn not to attack the body by using a small but representative sample of the body’s own protein ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how a subset of immune cells are essential for successful organ transplantation acceptance and that therapeutically targeting them may improve ...

How memory survives in immune cells works differently than medical scientists previously believed, according to international ...

A new study by Vanderbilt investigators has uncovered a previously unknown biological mechanism: how tissues detect and respond to damage in basement membranes, the thin layers of extracellular matrix ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a silk-based, ultrathin membrane that can be used in organ-on-a-chip models to better mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues within ...
