A new study tracking thousands of B cells across more than 100 germinal centers in mice reveals how the system consistently ...
The immune system strikes a fine balance by identifying and neutralizing disease-causing agents while carefully avoiding destruction of healthy tissues and cells. Now, researchers from Japan have shed ...
A new study suggests the immune system relies on repeated rounds of mutation and competition rather than perfect selection to ...
Gabriel D. Victora's team has turned germinal centers into a living laboratory for one of biology's oldest questions: how ...
Germinal centers form in the body’s lymphatic tissues shortly after vaccination or infection. Once inside a germinal center, B cells undergo rapid mutations and, through a process of natural selection ...
Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies through mutation and expansion until they produce high-affinity B cells adapted ...
The germinal centre (GC) of lymphoid organs is the microenvironment in which antigen-activated B cells diversify their immunoglobulin genes by somatic hypermutation (SHM) to generate high-affinity ...
