Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...
Cancer immunotherapy is built on a simple but powerful idea: the immune system can recognize and destroy cancer cells if it is properly activated. In many patients, however, this response is too weak ...
Researchers at VIB and VUB have developed a powerful new way to study how the immune system behaves inside lung tumors. By combining a patient-relevant mouse model with single-cell technologies, the ...
Impaired wound healing and pathological scarring remain major clinical challenges, closely linked to dysregulation of the immune microenvironment. Aberrant macrophage polarization, persistent ...
Researchers have shown unprecedented control of SIV replication and decay of viral reservoirs by combining a stringent model of infection with the interruption of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The ...
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used to help scientists accelerate drug discovery and search for new treatments ...
Receptors on B and T cells hint at what the immune system is targeting. An AI approach called Mal-ID developed increases diagnostic accuracy, particularly for autoimmune diseases. Your immune system ...
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected mechanism by which the gut’s immune system maintains balance, challenging ...
Millions of people worldwide carry viral infections they acquired at birth, often for life. For a long time it was assumed ...
