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, ...

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 ...

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.

Every individual’s immune system is distinct and changes over time, affecting their health and disease response. Recently, researchers mapped human immune cells to explore what defines a healthy ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...

How does the same infection, say the flu or a cold, give some people mild symptoms and leave others suffering? Why do people develop autoimmune diseases? And will we ever be able to predict when—and ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...
