When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...

Antigen-driven TCR signaling in the epidermis during CD8+ TRM differentiation results in a lower TGFβ requirement for persistence and increased proliferative capacity that together enhance epidermal ...

Maria Curotto de Lafaille’s lab was trying to make human plasma cells in a dish. These weren’t just run-of-the-mill cells, though. The team was vying for something specific: plasma cells that churn ...

Researchers have developed a new type of memory cell that can both store information and do high-speed, high-efficiency calculations. The memory cell enables users to run high-speed computations ...

Our brain’s memory center bears a sleek design. A peek into living tissue from human hippocampi, a brain region crucial for memory and learning, revealed relatively few cell-to-cell connections for ...

Getting measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite. Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance on bugs the patient has ...

Clearing out “aged” brain cells dramatically reduced seizures and restored memory in a new epilepsy study.
