An experiment delves into how the microbiome shapes immunity.

Researchers report they’ve found a way to restore immune function in infants with one form of “bubble boy disease.”

At least a handful of patients have developed active TB after receiving cancer treatment designed to boost the immune system’s antitumor response.

High salt concentrations are present in the affected skin of people with atopic dermatitis and promote the differentiation of the T helper cells involved in the development of allergic diseases.

Belly fat helps fight infection, but is also a common site of metastasis.

Brief electroporation appears to make T cells more receptive to new genetic material, which could speed the development of immunotherapies.

A preliminary clinical trial finds that the personalized therapy improves survival rates and has no severe side-effects.

Emerging technologies help researchers draw mechanistic links between metabolism and epigenetic modification of DNA.

The immunotherapy, which targets CD22 on cancer cells rather than CD19, might prove useful in patients for whom previous T-cell treatments were unsuccessful.
