A new study has revealed that a special group of cells in the intestines tamp down the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins. Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable ...

New research zeroes in on a unique group of immune cells that could transform how we treat—and possibly prevent—severe food ...

A new study led by researchers at NYU Langone Health has revealed that a special group of cells found in mouse intestines suppresses the immune responses caused by food protein exposure. These ...

Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on the body's own healthy cells, for instance, as well as nonthreatening substances from outside the body like food. How the system ...

Two new studies suggest that Parkinson's disease can potentially be treated with stem cells placed in a patient's brain.

We all want to stay healthy and full of energy, and a great way to do that is by supporting your immune system. Along with ...

This time, they explored whether these same cells could also play a role in reducing food allergies. Through genetically modifying the tolerogenic dendritic cells in mice, researchers observed that ...

Vitamin B12 is important for energy, brain function, and red blood cell production, but it's predominantly in animal foods.

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...
