Researchers have genetically engineered blood stem cells to produce B cells that can churn out rare broad-action antibodies to fight HIV, malaria, and flu. This platform can also be used to produce other essential proteins [1]. The rare gems Vaccination works because a small number of B cells, which recognize the vaccine antigen upon encountering...

Researchers have recently explored why B cells become less efficient as we age, analyzing how their behavior changes when they are transplanted from aged mice into young mice [1]. The immune system is a comprehensive defense system Our immune systems protect us from disease and are vital to the healthy function of every organ and...

According to a new study, Alzheimer’s disease is connected to inflammaging, which causes B-cells to change their phenotype and hamper amyloid-β (Aβ) removal [1]. Following successful experiments in vivo, the scientists propose B cell depletion as a possible therapy. The darker side of B cells    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is deadly, frustratingly resilient to treatment, and...

The immune system as a whole can be broadly separated into two main branches: the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response. The innate immune response is performed by a system that is always present across the body, while the adaptive immune response appears only in response to an infection and is always specific...
