New research suggests that Epstein-Barr virus may actively provoke the immune system in people with multiple sclerosis. Scientists found large buildups of virus-targeting immune cells in the nervous ...

The human immune system is a highly complex network of cells, signals, and responses that is tightly regulated to ensure that the body can fight off infection without damaging its own tissues. Now, ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

Immunological memory refers to the ability of the immune system to “remember” and respond more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. Memory T cells generated during previous ...

Study shows certain CD8+ immune cells are far more active in the nervous system of people with multiple sclerosis. Some ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have uncovered a new clue to how Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) could contribute to multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune disease that affects nearly one million ...

Scientists discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters an ineffective, exhausted state. Turning off two transcription factors allowed ...

Therapeutic vaccines are advancing in oncology and HIV, with the aim of retraining immune responses to target tumors and persistent viral reservoirs with precision.
