Immunology

Zhijian “James” Chen received this year’s Albert Lasker Award for discovering cGAS, an enzyme which scopes out DNA-based threats and alerts the immune system.

Even as CRISPR-based tools become a lab staple, scientists strive to tackle the associated technological challenges to improve their efficacy and safety.   

In the middle of the 20th century, science disciplines collided and set the stage for a technology that changed cell research.

Immunoassays help researchers across a range of applications from screening to targeted analysis.

Sensory neurons grow into injured tissues and modulate the immune system to promote healing.

Ever since its discovery in the 1900s, the production of a potent vaccine adjuvant relied on the Chilean soapbark tree. Now, yeast can make the molecule.

Finding a narrative that resonates with the audience and serving it in their preferred format helps make science engaging, relatable, and fun.

In this webinar, Edward Han, Jospeh Zenga, and Tyce Kearl will discuss how optofluidic technologies unlock key immuno-oncology insights for translational applications.

Stimulation of neural reward pathways may help mice recover from heart attacks.

Learn how immunotherapy is revolutionizing autoimmune disorder treatment.

Maternal immune responses during mice gestation led to a hyperactive population of innate-like immune cells in offspring that contributed to altered lung composition and function.

A more realistic model of the mucus layer that lines the lungs and gut could provide important insights into the function of this critical defensive barrier.

A salivary protein in mosquitos can suppress host immune activity and aid viral transmission.

Spectral flow cytometry collects the full emission spectrum of a fluorochrome, enabling multicolor panels with more parameters than conventional flow cytometry.

Marburg virus enters humans from bats to cause viral hemorrhagic fever, but how it alters immune cells is unclear.

Researchers explored the effects of obesity on the lung microenvironment in ferrets, searching for new therapeutic targets to protect vulnerable populations.

Researchers explore the immune system to further understand cancer and illuminate therapy development.

During pregnancy, fetal cells invade maternal tissues and can persist for decades, but the effects of these non-self cells remain largely obscure.

Researchers mapped tissue remodeling during colitis development in mice to explore how diverse cell types contribute and respond to the disease.
