The most comprehensive map of the developing human thymus sheds light on how immune responses are built and maintained at early life, with implications for understanding and treating immunodeficiency, ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

As we age, our immune system quietly loses its edge, and scientists have uncovered a surprising reason why. A protein called ...

Researchers monitored brain activity when people were shown images of sick-looking avatars via VR. The brain appeared to spark an immune response.Imagine wearing a virtual reality headset and being ...

Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...
