Natural killer cells can sometimes attack beneficial CAR T cell immunotherapies. Now, researchers have discovered why and a potential way to stop them.

Nonhuman primates treated with the mRNA vaccine recovered faster and had less severe disease than those given available mpox vaccines. 

A new model predicts how well maternal vaccines protect babies from Group B Streptococcus, propelling much needed shots through late-stage clinical trials.

An inhibitory receptor binds a checkpoint protein to thwart T cell proliferation and function.

Researchers uncovered the structure of the measles fusion glycoprotein and identified a neutralizing antibody capable of decreasing its virulence.

Fiber found in bananas and garlic suppressed allergic reactions in mice.

Scientists imaged new communication pathways between the skull and the brain and uncovered immune responses exclusive to the skull.

Placental macrophages play a role in the immune response against pathogens.

Researchers discovered an immunological connection between the eye and the brain that could lead to new therapeutics for central nervous system diseases.

The durability and capacity to boost protein expression of circular RNA makes it a promising candidate for next-generation vaccines and gene therapies.
