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.

Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

When cells are healthy, we don't expect them to suddenly change cell types. A skin cell on your hand won't naturally morph into a brain cell, and vice versa. That's thanks to epigenetic memory, which ...
