The research describes a novel and unusual mechanism for T cells to remember the pathogens and cancers that they had previously encountered. This immunological memory is crucial to the body’s immune ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune ...

A new model suggests that astrocytes might be used in computation, coordinating with neurons and connecting synapses in networks. A new model of memory — and a little-heralded type of brain cell — ...

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...
