A new CU Boulder study, published Dec. 12 in the journal Cell, sheds light on the subject by identifying what the authors describe as an "immune system tuning dial," which originated as a bug in ...

Funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), the study on mice shows that the brain’s hypothalamus controls how the immune system adapts during fasting, through ...

The new technique, called single-cell suppressive profiling of regulatory T cells (scSPOT), can pinpoint the effects of Tregs on all other immune cells simultaneously.

In the study, first author Anna Nogalska and her colleagues found striking differences in how quickly the immune system ages—even among lab mice with the same genetic background raised in ...

Ten times she tried, and 10 times the tumors were squelched. When she suppressed the new host’s immune system with drugs, however, the tumors took hold. “That was the key!” she later recalled.

The human immune system is a remarkable evolutionary tool that is often taken for granted—until, that is, something gets past its cellular defenses. However, this complex system of cells, organs ...
