Human Buddy is an animated show that explores the wonders of the human body in a fun and entertaining style, similar to SolarBalls and MrSpherical. Key topics include the immune system, viruses, ...

The main lineages of the human immune system are established early in embryonic development and become more diverse and complex in the fetus. They comprise innate immune cells (including monocytes, ...

Every individual’s immune system is distinct and changes over time, affecting their health and disease response. Recently, researchers mapped human immune cells to explore what defines a healthy ...

Since the appearance of the first eukaryotic cells at least 2.7 billion years ago, several defense mechanisms have evolved to ensure cellular integrity, homeostasis, and host survival (Fig. 1). It has ...

The miniature models could exponentially accelerate vaccine development, cancer treatment research, and improved health outcomes across a spectrum of diseases. The left image shows the immune organ-on ...

The left image shows the immune organ-on-chip, where the organoids (right) are grown to study the response of human donors. The right image shows development of types of immune cells relevant to the ...
