This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination generate strong, highly specific spike-binding immune responses ...

The most comprehensive map of the developing human thymus sheds light on how immune responses are built and maintained at early life, with implications for understanding and treating immunodeficiency, ...

Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

When the Human Genome Project mapped and sequenced the entire set of DNA instructions in a human cell—a 13-year, $2.7 billion global endeavor that completed in 2003—it produced one of humanity’s ...

Human immunity is an incredibly complex system that has to be very carefully regulated by the body. We need our immune systems to be able to leap into action when our health is threatened by pathogens ...

A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully created a type of mouse with a 100% functional human immune system and human-like gut microbiome. This 'humanized' mouse takes the guesswork out of ...

An initiative partly funded by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK has moved further towards its goal of producing a 'human cell atlas' (HCA) to map every cell type in the human body.

Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...
