There is now convincing evidence that regulatory CD4 + T cells are essential in the control of immune responses by inhibiting the function of T helper type 1 (T H 1) and T H 2 effector cells ...

Current research suggests that T helper-type 1 cells, previously thought to mediate autoimmunity, may actual inhibit the development of experimental immune encephalomyelitis, a mouse model of ...

A new study shows that analyzing T cells in blood samples could be used to select at-risk patients for type 1 diabetes preventive therapy.

IL-4-producing B cells regulate T helper cell dichotomy in type 1- and type 2-controlled diseases Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Published: ...

The study included 12 patients who suffer from a subset of Type 1 diabetes known as hypoglycemic unawareness, characterized ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have changed the future of cancer care. These powerful treatments use the body’s own immune ...

In the years that followed, other groups identified more types of innate lymphoid cells and noticed a peculiar pattern: For every class of T cell, an ILC counterpart exists that resembles it. 6 For ...

A new study sheds light on how a rare type of helper T cell, called Th9, can drive allergic disease, suggesting new precision medicine approaches to treating allergies in patients with high levels ...

Of course, people with type 1 diabetes had it worse. Their tissue samples showed the T cells very close to - and even infiltrating - the islets. We can't say that these are the only culprits in ...

A new study shows that Aedes aegypti, the mosquito responsible for spreading dengue, yellow fever and Zika, can still find human targets even after losing its sense of smell. At the same time, Indian ...

Called Type 1 diabetes, or T1D, this autoimmune disease happens when the body’s defense system mistakes its own insulin-producing cells as foreign and kills them.

The research indicates that reprogrammed T helper cells adopt characteristics of a new T helper cell type while preserving some of their original traits, making them “super powerful and potent ...
