Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the immune system to mistakenly attack body tissues, particularly joints, leading ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

Inflammation immunology has emerged as a central field for understanding the balance between host defense and pathological immune activation.

A conceptual illustration showing how ubiquitin-like 3 (UBL3) modification acts as a molecular “tag” that directs selected proteins into small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). Inside the secreting cell, ...

IIT Kanpur researchers, led by Professor Arun K Shukla, used cryo-EM to uncover the molecular basis of the atypical immune ...
