In the process, immune system cells, like T cells, in the thymus, and macrophages, eating toxins and intruders, are stimulated by the messages sent out by your dear old brain. Where you think. Natural killer cells (I love the name, it makes me feel safer knowing I have these) are on...
A nanoparticle and inhibitor trigger the immune system, outsmarting brain cancer纳米粒子和抑制剂触发了免疫系统,战胜脑癌 密歇根大学罗杰尔癌症中心的科学家们在发现一种能阻断脑瘤中一个关键途径的小分子时感到很乐观。但有一个问题:如何让抑制剂通过血液进入大脑,到达肿瘤。 通过与多个实验室合作,这些团队制作了一...
The immune system is equal in complexity to the combined intricacies of the brain and nervous system. The success of the immune system in defending the body relies on a dynamic regulatory communications network consisting of millions and millions of cells. Organized into sets and subsets, these ce...
A fever can help your immune system fight infections in two ways. A higher temperature in the body speeds up how cells work, including the ones that fight illness. They can respond to invading germs faster. Also, higher body temperatures make it harder for bacteria and viruses to thrive in...
When it comes to memory, immune cells are known as the "bad cops" of the brain. But new research shows they could also be turned into "good cops" to power memory and learning.

The idea that the brain was off limits to the immune system took root decades earlier. In the 1920s, the Japanese scientist Y. Shirai reported1 that when tumour cells were implanted in a rat’s body, the immune response destroyed them, but when placed in the brain, they survived — indi...

The human immune system is the most complex biological system we know after the human brain, and yet most of us never learn how it works or what it is. Your immune system consists of hundreds of tiny and two large organs. It has its own transport network spread throughout your body. Ev...
