Damage to the genetic material of mitochondria—the mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA for short—can lead to diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cardiovascular ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin—a critical hormone that regulates blood sugar in the body. Scientists at Scripps ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...

The immune system is comprised of various cells that work in concert to fight off disease. The two immune responses, innate and adaptive, are orchestrated to build a specific reaction to the invading ...
