A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

Human lung tissue analyses identify iNKT cell depletion as a mechanistic feature of advanced IPFFindings extend MiNK’s iNKT platform into chronic ...

Just before the pandemic took center stage in 2020, scientists at a T cell memory conference convened to discuss a less than traditional topic: nomenclature. Prior to the event, the workshop ...

T cell receptors (TCRs) are fundamental to the adaptive immune system, playing a pivotal role in recognising and responding to pathogenic challenges. Generated through the process of V(D)J ...

The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

T cells are the immune system’s frontline fighters. When they detect danger, they rapidly multiply and transform into effector cells that destroy pathogens. This transformation demands an intense ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have developed a simpler and more efficient method to recover immune cells grown in the lab for T-cell based cancer therapies.

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division. The findings, ...

Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, allergic inflammation and host defence mechanisms. T helper 9 (TH9) cells, a specialised ...

Researchers at IIT Bombay have developed a simpler and more efficient method to recover immune cells grown in the lab for T-cell–based cancer therapies ...
