Immunology is the study of the body's immune system.

Macrophages restore normal functions when transported back to the body, says research

New research shows that some immune cells could reinstate their regular functions when they are introduced back into the body.

Scientists elucidate mechanism that causes treatment resistance in aggressive pancreatic cancer

Drug resistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of cancers. In an aggressive type of pancreatic cancer, for instance, drug resistance is associated with the suppression of programmed cell death, which results in the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

Study shows how two distinct groups of Tregs play different roles at different times

Every kind of T cell has a job to do. A healthy immune system makes sure no T cell oversteps.
