Not only do mitochondria serve as the engine of the cell – they also act as watchtowers for the immune system.

An international team of researchers from LMU and the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research has visualized the structure of the so-called ASC speck. A central component of the human immune ...

Researchers from the University of Florida have developed a novel mRNA cancer vaccine that aims to reprogram the immune system to target and attack cancer cells effectively. The study led by Elias ...

Recent immunology research has unveiled the complex relationship between vitamin D and immune system function. This vital nutrient is involved in the development and function of the immune system ...

Vitamins for the immune system You need plenty of vitamin C and vitamin D for your immune system to function properly. But you also need vitamins A, B6, B12, E, and K.
