C3G and IC-MPGN both cause protein deposits that reduce kidney function. Overactive proteins in the immune system lead to these different conditions. C3G and IC-MPGN are rare kidney conditions. They ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising way tumors turn the immune system to their advantage. Researchers at the University of ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime’s worth of information about threats it’s encountered — a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you’ve conquered; others ...

Scientific breakthroughs in one disease don't always shed light on treating other diseases. But that's been the surprising journey of one Mayo Clinic research team. After identifying a sugar molecule ...
