A new predictive framework reprograms T cells to sustain immune memory while preserving their ability to fight cancer and infections.

Scientists have discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters ...

A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...

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 ...

Our immune system implements an array of strategies to combat threatening infections. White blood cells called cytotoxic T ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer cells. The treatment involves CD8⁺ T cells, also known as killer T cells, which play a crucial role ...

Like the surface of the moon, new research published today in Cell finds the existence of craters on the surface of melanoma cells that serve as immune hubs, becoming major sites for tumor killing.

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...
