The human immune system is a remarkable evolutionary tool that is often taken for granted—until, that is, something gets past its cellular defenses. However, this complex system of cells ...

Your immune system includes your body's cells, tissues, and organs, which work together to fight off infections and diseases. But how much do you know about it? When you understand everything that ...

This paper is one of a collection of more than 40 HCA publications in Nature Portfolio journals that represent a milestone leap in our understanding of the human body. The immune system protects ...

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 ...

Here’s how it works. For the first time, scientists have bred mice with fully fledged human immune systems. The researchers say these human-like animals will enhance drug development.

Casali and others demonstrated that their generated humanized mouse had a complete human immune system and human-like gut microbiota, which was able to elicit an antibody response. This is a ...
