Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells represent a unique lymphocyte subset that bridges innate and adaptive immunity. Their development originates in the thymus from double‐positive precursor cells, ...

Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body? There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

Anxiety and insomnia don’t just affect mood. Researchers found that these conditions can reduce natural killer cell counts, possibly compromising immune strength.

Natural killer (NK) cells are the bodyguards of our immune system. As a first line of defense, they destroy invading pathogens, foreign bodies, and infected cells in early stages, thereby preventing ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...
