A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.
Balancing the immune system is a delicate act. If it’s too weak, infections and cancer can take hold; if it’s too strong, autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection can occur. Researchers have ...
It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...
Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...
