New research suggests the skin does much more than detect damage or keep pathogens out. By tracing how skin cells respond to ...

A collaborative effort led by Professor Wanli Liu 's team at Tsinghua University has uncovered a sophisticated mechanism by which keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the skin's epidermis, ...

The COVID-19 pandemic brought messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines to the forefront of global health care. After their clinical ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how an innovative and stable mRNA-LNP microneedle vaccine elicits humoral and multifunctional cellular immune responses. During ...

Researchers are redesigning lipid nanoparticles to do more than shuttle mRNA into cells, with preclinical studies suggesting engineered particles can influence immune metabolism in ways that may ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

The skin is far more than a simple physical barrier. These two researches address a fundamental question in immunology: How does a localized skin ...

Harmonizing immunophenotyping assay designs facilitates integrating findings across trials, enabling biomarker identification and validation, revealing cohort-specific features and drug mechanisms as ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

Researchers developed a micro-volume assay that quantifies T-cell responses and antibodies from fingertip blood, offering a ...
