In this thesis, we have investigated a specific type of T cell, the γδT cell, and its potential as an immunotherapy against cancer. We aimed to improve current γδT cell-based therapies and demonstrate ...

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. The ...

The nanoparticle vaccine allowed the mice’s immune system to produce T cells, white blood cells crucial for fighting ...

Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and systemic ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...

CAR T cell therapy involves altering the genes in a patient's T cells, a type of "fighter" cell in the immune system, to make them destroy cancer. But solid cancers present a challenge, because the ...

Scientists at UCSF identified a key cellular switch that plays a large role in pulmonary fibrosis, and found a way of ...
