Researchers at the University of Liège (Belgium) have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that regulates the immune response against parasites. During a parasitic infection, specific immune cells ...

Meanwhile, the adaptive system, consisting of T and B cells, responds more slowly, targeting specific antigens and generating long-lived memory cells to enable a quicker, stronger secondary response.

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation ... act as gatekeepers ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...

and protected populations of T cells with short telomeres from early aging, the team found. There was also an increase in the number of stem-like memory T cells, which are able to perform either ...

The flash memory used for solid state drives (SSDs) and USB drives also stores bits in cells; however, when the power is turned off, the memory cells retain their content (see flash memory).
