Bat DNA reveals a strong link between longevity and immune function, showing longer-lived bats have more cancer-fighting genes and unique cell damage responses.
Scientists have found that reducing levels of the immune protein C3 may mimic the anti-aging benefits of calorie restriction, potentially offering a new therapeutic approach.
A new study reveals that cancer-linked mutations found in immune cells may contribute to Alzheimer's disease, suggesting new diagnostic and treatment avenues.
New research indicates that the thymus, an immune organ, significantly impacts adult longevity, disease risk, and cancer immunotherapy success.
New research suggests that vitamin D2 supplements may unexpectedly lower the body's levels of the more effective vitamin D3, impacting immune function.
MIT researchers found that the amino acid cysteine helps the gut heal itself in mice by activating immune cells that boost intestinal stem cell regeneration.
Research from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology reveals that the first nucleotide of an RNA molecule, A or G, significantly impacts the strength of the cellular antiviral immune response.
New research reveals that temperature significantly influences animal immune systems, with implications for disease resistance as climate change alters global temperatures.
Harvard Medical School researchers found that the gut bacterium *Morganella morganii* can contribute to depression by producing an inflammation-triggering molecule when exposed to the environmental contaminant diethanolamine (DEA).
