Hopkins researchers identify how smoking, a well-known risk factor for eye disease and vision loss, increases susceptibility ...

Obesity leaves a lasting imprint on fat and immune cells in ways that might make weight regain harder to avoid ...

A massive cell-by-cell map of aging reveals it’s a synchronized, body-wide process—and scientists may finally know where to intervene.

Since scientists first discovered that human immune cells could be modified to become cancer-fighting agents, they've been trying to engineer a cell that's effective against solid tumors, which ...

Checkpoint blockade therapies and mRNA vaccines have emerged as powerful therapeutic modalities for treating cancers and infectious diseases. Despite the ...

Stimulating the liver to generate signals normally produced by the thymus can reverse age-related declines in T-cell populations.

Across both mice and humans, we found that males tended to recover from pain more quickly than females. The reason appears to lie in how monocytes behave after injury. In males, these immune cells ...
