A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

A recent study suggests that memories aren’t just stored in the brain, raising important questions about cognition.

Researchers have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with bacteria, viruses and other antigens within them, a finding ...

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

“SuperAgers have more immature neurons and neuroblasts in the hippocampus, which is an indication of stronger neurogenesis ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Cells change shape to move efficiently in a range of spatial environments. This response can be informed by the cell’s memory of past deformation. Read the paper: The actin cortex acts as a mechanical ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

Weight loss is notoriously hard to maintain. Within a few years most people regain the pounds they initially lose, whether ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...
