Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system's coordinators, helping other immune cells fight longer and harder.
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumours into cancer-killing machines.
A team of researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools that are needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialised immune cells.
People's immune systems deteriorate as they age, making cancer therapies that rely on immune cells difficult to implement. In a new study, researchers from the University of Lausanne (UNIL), the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), and the Ecole Polytec
Scientists discovered that a previously uncharacterized subset of immune cells may play an important role in the development of allergy illnesses and explain disparities between urban and rural populations.
The researchers have identified a rare type of immune cell, called stem-like T cells, that holds the key to maintaining powerful, long-term immune responses against cancer and other chronic infections.
The majority of cancer deaths are caused by metastatic disease, which occurs when cancer spreads from the primary tumour to other areas of the body. and researchers understand how cancer cells escape the primary location to seed new tumours, it is unclear why some cancer cells produce new t
The significance of gamma-delta T cells in 33 different cancer types is revealed in a recent study that was published in Cell Press. This information sheds light on the cells' potential as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the treatment of cancer. This thorough examination, whic
Fever increases immune cell metabolism, proliferation, and activity, but it also causes mitochondrial stress, DNA damage, and cell death in a specific subgroup of T cells, according to Vanderbilt University Medical Centre researchers.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre showed that fever temperatures increase immune cell metabolism, proliferation, and activity, but they also promote mitochondrial stress, DNA damage, and cell death in a specific subgroup of T cells.
