These cells, known as TFH17, are hybrids – part T follicular helper cell, part T helper 17 cell. And they don’t stay put. Instead, they travel through the body, affecting the immune system far ...

T follicular helper cells (Tfh cells) are a specialized subgroup within the so-called CD4 + T helper cells in the immune system. Their main task is to assist the B cells in the immune defense.

The study compared blood samples from urban infants with those from infants in a farming community, specifically the Old ...

Evidence of a unique T cell may explain why urban children are more prone to allergies than rural children. Differences in the development of the gut microbiome may be an underlying cause.

Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells select mutated B cells in germinal centres, which can then differentiate into long-lived high affinity memory B cells and plasma cells. Tfh cells are regulated by a ...
