As Chikungunya spreads into new regions, LJI scientists share a first look at how human T cells target the virus. Their findings may shed light on how viruses can trigger chronic disease.
“We found a missing puzzle piece that represents one possible reason why immunization efforts against CMV have been unsuccessful.”
LJI scientists discover that T cells may allow for early detection of Parkinson's cases—years before motor symptoms development.
LJI scientists find that a person's past vaccine response—not age, sex, or vaccine dose—is the best predictor of future vaccine responses
By studying Chikungunya virus, LJI scientists shed light on how immune responses to viral infections may lead to persistent symptoms of autoimmune disease.
How sex-based differences shape the immune system—and what these discoveries mean for the future of medicine
“This study illustrated a profound difference between the immune systems of men and women.”
LJI researchers are exploring the effects of hormonal contraceptives on immune responses—and the immune system's role in endometriosis. They're hearing from women along the way.
LJI Assistant Professor Miguel Reina-Campos, Ph.D., uses new tools to capture immune cells, hormones, and prostate cancer cells in action.
Autoimmune disease is much more common in women than men. Scientists aren’t sure why. A strange illness that strikes the bile duct network may provide important clues.
Why would would a viral infection spark symptoms of an autoimmune disease?
