A new study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has discovered a surprising new mechanism in the brain that ...

Feeling hungry doesn't just make you reach for a snack—it may also change your immune system. In a recent study in mice, we found that simply perceiving hunger can change the number of immune ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

UF scientists develop a universal mRNA vaccine that boosts the immune system to fight any cancer, potentially replacing traditional treatments.

New research shows missing just one night of sleep can significantly disrupt your immune system, increasing vulnerability to illness.
