Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...

For decades, dogma dictated that the immune system consisted of two separate branches. Cells of the innate system respond rapidly to molecular patterns shared by a broad array of pathogens. Meanwhile, ...

Think learning and memory are all the job of the brain? You might want to think again, if the results of a recent study are to be believed. In a first, scientists at New York University (NYU) ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...

Repeated exercise, or wasting, can change the way key genes work.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...

Losing weight can be a lot of work, which makes it all the more frustrating when, little by little, the weight creeps back. Now, a study suggests that fat cells retain a memory or past obesity, which ...
