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 ...

When the Human Genome Project mapped and sequenced the entire set of DNA instructions in a human cell—a 13-year, $2.7 billion global endeavor that completed in 2003—it produced one of humanity’s ...

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 ...

The human immune system is one of the body’s most complex and fascinating defence mechanisms. It works tirelessly to protect us from infections, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders. While ...

Scientists at UC Davis discovered a small genetic difference that could explain why humans are more prone to certain cancers than our primate cousins. The change affects a protein used by immune cells ...

While an increasingly anxious world watched a new coronavirus spread across the globe in early 2020, veteran immunologist Rafi Ahmed quickly grasped that his field was about to experience something ...

During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the rate of serious illness and death was jarringly high in older populations. Why? Weakening immune systems — as we age, we become more vulnerable to infections, ...

Anatomy education in 2026 is shifting from siloed memorization to integrated systems thinking, where the digestive system serves as the perfect anchor to connect joint mobility, epithelial barriers, ...

These miniature immune system models -- known as human immune organoids -- mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines.
