A new paper, published in this week's issue of PLoS Biology, suggests that lymph nodes are not essential in the mouse in marshaling T cells (a main immune foot soldier) to respond to a breach of ...

The last time you visited your doctor for a sore throat, they may have felt for potential inflammation in your neck. That’s because infections often cause swollen lymph nodes (medically known as ...

A new study from researchers at Uppsala University presents novel findings on why human lymph nodes lose their function with age and the consequences for the effectiveness of our immune system.

The fluid and the cells inside lymphatic vessels are collectively known as lymph, and although the lymphatic system extends to every part of the body, there is no central pump like the heart to keep ...

Lymph nodes make up 800 stops on your immune system's "superhighway." Here's when immunology experts say swollen lymph nodes need a look.

All six pigs showed a recovery of liver function, and close examination of their lymph nodes revealed not only thriving hepatocytes, but also a network of bile ducts and vasculature that ...

T-cells produce acidic niches in lymph nodes to suppress their own effector functions. Nature Communications , 2020; 11 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-17756-7 Cite This Page : ...

Lymph nodes are critical to the body's immune response against tumors but paradoxically, cancer cells that spread, or metastasize, to lymph nodes can often avoid being eliminated by immune cells.

Learn more about how cancer can spread to or start in the lymph nodes, and more. Health ... T cells help to fight infections and abnormal cells and affect how immune system cells function.

As people age, their immune system does not function as well as it did when they were younger, probably due to natural aging processes. But new research has found that exposure to air pollution also ...
