Researchers led by the University of Geneva and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne report that neural anticipation of ...

Findings indicate the brain's anticipatory response to virtual infections activates immune mechanisms, showcasing the link between neuroscience and immunity.

Researchers equipped study participants with virtual reality headsets and observed how their brains and immune systems ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other ...

However, the innate immune system triggers a second immune response, which specifically targets infected cells. The adaptive immune response works in concert with the innate immune system to deliver ...

The scientists found that the approach of an infectious avatar fired up brain areas linked to personal space — the region ...

Researchers monitored brain activity when people were shown images of sick-looking avatars via VR. The brain appeared to ...

Results from early-stage trial show that 80% of participants who received one of two HIV vaccine candidates produced antibodies against viral proteins.

Both adaptive and innate immune memory responses have been described in gamma delta T cells, yet the mechanisms, the ligands and the gamma delta T cell subsets generating memory responses have remain ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered that PD-1—a molecule best known for putting the brakes on immune ...

Seeing sick-looking faces in virtual reality triggers brain circuit changes related to threat detection and boosts activity of certain immune cells.
