The RAGs, comprising RAG1 and RAG2, catalyze V(D)J recombination by recognizing recombination-signal sequences (RSS). Glioblastoma, the aggressive brain cancer, has many oncogenic chromosomal alterations; however, the mechanism of their generation is largely unknown. Here, we report that RAGs are ex …

In today’s Substack, authored by Dr. Aimee Pugh Bernard, PhD, in partnership with Immunology Explained, an initiative of The American Association of Immunologists (AAI), we unpack one of the most comm...

New NIEHS chief is a friend of Vice President JD Vance

Understand how your immune system works with clear, science-backed insights. We empower you to make informed decisions and feel confident about your health.

The health secretary has made many inaccurate statements about vaccines. But the science is clear that vaccines have dramatically reduced childhood illness, disability and death.

A UC Davis study found that deleting a cluster of genes in wheat may reduce wheat allergies without harming breadmaking.

A recent study published has revealed the molecular link between malaria infection and Burkitt lymphoma (BL)...

We found no evidence of differences in the intestinal mucosal immune responses induced by nOPV2 or Sabin mOPV2 and observed the strongest responses in infants.

Human activity releases pollutants into the air, water, and soil. Environmental contaminants do not merely contribute to climate change, but they also have a profound impact on human health.

The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

There have been 6,600 pertussis cases reported in the US in 2025, almost four times the number at this point last year.

Covid anniversary, pandemic revisionism, chronic diseases, and a boulder going down the hill

Federal officials cited the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in halting the research. But much of the work was focused on preventing outbreaks of other pathogens.

Senior scientists at the National Institutes of Health fear that research on conditions like obesity, heart disease and cancer will be undermined by President Trump’s policies.

Repression of STING expression in neutrophils and T lymphocytes is required for immune homeostasis and tumor response.

During mold infection, epithelial-derived GM-CSF licenses neutrophil killing of fungal cells, leading to improved survival.

Measles virus (Morbillivirus abbreviated as MV, but more recently MeV) is the causal agent of measles disease, thought to have existed at least 4,000 years ago, affecting predominantly infants, but

The measles virus attacks long-lived immune cells, reducing antibody-mediated protection from other infectious diseases and casting a long shadow of childhood mortality.

Systematic measurements of the interactions between proteins found on the surfaces of human leukocytes provides a global view of the way that immune cells are dynamically connected by recept...

This approach could transform radiation therapy by allowing higher doses to be used more safely, ultimately improving outcomes for cancer patients.

Dr. Collins, a renowned geneticist, ran the National Institutes of Health for 12 years. His parting statement offered a pointed, if veiled, message to the Trump administration.

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

A Big Step Forward By Sequencing B and T Cell Receptors Plus A.I.

Modern flu vaccines have an average efficacy of just 40 percent, and they must be revamped each year. How can we make vaccines that are “universal” — both broadly-protective and highly potent?
