Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During ...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and UPMC Hillman Cancer Center scientists have discovered a novel subset of cancer-fighting immune cells that reside outside of their normal neighborhood – ...

Researchers at the Monash University Biomedicine Discovery Institute have identified a previously unknown type of immune system memory B cell (MBC) that can cause poor antibody responses in chronic ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Memory B cells increased at week 2 after belimumab initiation and returned toward baseline by week 52. Insights ...

The illustration depicts how during differentiation cells normally lose their plasticity and ability to acquire new fates.

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

Neoantigens are unique markers that distinguish only cancer cells. By adding B cell reactivity, cancer vaccines can move ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
