Big changes often happen in small steps, and it’s not always easy to see how we get from point A to point B. Now, researchers from Japan have found a new step in the process of cell differentiation ...

A recent study reveals the pivotal role of tristetraprolin (TTP), an RNA-binding protein, in regulating inflammatory responses in basophils, immune cells central to allergic reactions. The research ...

Immunological memory is thought to be maintained by continuous low exposure or persistence of antigen and the population expansion and long-term survival of antigen-specific memory T cells and B cells ...
