Microglia help limit infection to the olfactory bulb and protects neurons from damage that could occur as a result of viral infection.
Neurons and immune cells work together to promote tumor growth in neurofibromatosis type 1.
Australian researchers have mapped immune responses from one of the country's first COVID-19 patients. The findings shed light on how the immune system fights the virus and assists in recovery from the virus.
Autoreactive cytotoxic CD8 T cells have been detected in people with narcolepsy type one. The finding suggests levels of the T-cell reactivity, combined with specific gene expression, may spur on the development of NT1.
Researchers suggest using both immunotherapy and gene therapy to help patients fight against glioblastoma brain cancer.
In a historic breakthrough, researchers have discovered thousands of new immune system signals. The findings hold potential implications for immunotherapies, autoimmune disease treatments and vaccine developments.
