Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors - a smart fighter that destroys cancer cells for days without tiring. USC biomedical engineers have made ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Chicago, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, has identified a novel oncometabolite that accumulates in tumors and impairs ...

Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a new method that shifts the behavior of immunosuppressive cells in tumors, turning them from cancer protectors into tumor fighters.

Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors — a smart fighter that destroys cancer cells for days without tiring. USC biomedical engineers have made ...

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...
