Engineering regulatory T cells (Tregs) has emerged as a powerful strategy to achieve durable, antigen-specific immune tolerance for autoimmune and ...
The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...
Discover how Treg cell therapies rethink precision medicine for autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, MS, and transplant rejection.
Northwestern Medicine scientists in the laboratory of Stephen Miller, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Microbiology–Immunology, have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms required for the ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded earlier this month to immunologists Mary E. Brunkow (Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle), Fred Ramsdell (Sonoma Biotherapeutics, San ...
Regulatory T cells protect the body from misdirected or overly excited immune responses. A new study highlights previously unknown characteristics of these cells that could guide the development of ...
Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, attacking harmful invaders while protecting your own tissues. When that balance breaks, infections can spread unchecked, or the body ...
