A research team led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine scientists has developed a new strategy to engineer immune cells that dramatically prolongs their effectiveness after being infused into ...

The approach relies on a specially engineered scaffold that links three naturally occurring cytokines known to promote immune memory.

When cancer cells die, macrophages consume them and produce inflammatory cytokines. This activates JAK and STAT proteins in living cancer cells, enabling them to produce their own Upd3 and creating a ...

Scientists in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and MIT have created a new family of tools that, for the first time, illuminates the missing half of how the immune system uses ...

Autoimmune diseases stem from a complicated interplay of immune dysregulation, characterized by chronic inflammation and the loss of self-tolerance. Cytokines are central to these processes. These ...

Innate and adaptive immune cells coordinate the excessive inflammatory response known as a cytokine storm in acute respiratory distress syndrome, leading to alveolar–capillary barrier damage, ...
