Ongoing research investigating how HIV remains as a latent reservoir in resting T helper cells to ensure viral persistence in patients that have undergone treatment with highly active antiretroviral ...

CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...

T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are essential for strong antibody-mediated reactions of our immune system during infections and vaccinations. However, if they get out of control, this can cause ...

A newly recognized set of T helper cells seems to guard against aging by eliminating harmful senescent cells. Their presence in supercentenarians suggests they may be a key to maintaining a healthier, ...

Researchers have clarified how B cells and T helper 17 cells drive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a mouse ...

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...
