For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular ...

Medical researchers have used animals, particularly mice, to mimic disease and study biological phenomena. The origin of mice as a standard model system for scientific research can extend back to the ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

The interactions between tumor and the immune system are main factors in determining cancer treatment outcomes. In Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), considerable evidence shows that the dynamics between ...

Melanoma is a highly invasive malignancy with poor prognoses in advanced stages. Developing a risk model that can accurately assess prognosis and guide personalized treatment is crucial for improving ...

Not only does our body change with age, but so does our immune system. A recent study led by the Center for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) shows exactly how immune cells age and how ...

Scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the world's first mouse model equipped with a fully functional human ...

A new study suggests the immune system relies on repeated rounds of mutation and competition rather than perfect selection to ...

Scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health. Working with scientists at ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have developed a murine model for a highly progressive disease called “anti-MDA5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis”, providing insights into ...

Virginia Tech scientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute completed one element of an engineered tissue model that could advance medical and drug testing and provide a new tool for ...
