Injection turns sleeping tumour immune cells into cancer fighters: Study
Updated : 1 month, 4 weeks ago IST
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.

Taiwanese researchers uncover new cancer signalling mechanism
Updated : 1 year, 1 month ago IST
Researchers from CCU and NCKU have discovered a new cancer signalling mechanism that enables pancreatic cancer cells to evade immune destruction and sustain tumour growth. The TIMP1-CD63 signalling pathway, along with DUSP2 deficiency, creates a self-perpetuating cycle that accelerates cance

Study finds how macrophages play critical role in immune system
Updated : 1 year, 8 months ago IST
Macrophages are essential to the immune system because they combat infections and help heal damaged tissue. It's critical to comprehend how these cells are triggered in various contexts in order to design novel medical interventions. The complexity of these cells and their reactions has made

Do you know genetic malfunction causes rare lung disease? Study finds
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
One of the most significant cells in the body is the macrophage. This immune cell, dubbed "big eater" in Greek, eats and breaks down dangerous substances like dust, debris, bacteria, and cancer cells. Macrophages play a particularly important role in the lungs, where they combat bacterial in

Researchers discover genetic malfunction that causes rare lung disease
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
The macrophage is one of the most important cells in the body. This immune cell, which means "big eater" in Greek, consumes and digests harmful materials such as bacteria, cancer cells, dust, and detritus. Macrophages are notably crucial in the lungs, where they fight bacterial infections wh

Macrophage ageing is triggered by cancer stem cells: Study
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
A group of researchers looked into the ways in which cancer stem cells avoid the immune system in mouse models.

Study finds cancer stem cells trigger macrophage ageing
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Cancerous tumours consist of a mixture of cells, the most important of which are cancer stem cells. These cells are capable of establishing new cancerous tumours by evading the immune response.

Senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Researchers detected senescent macrophages in the lung that not only remained but also supported tumour growth in a recent Cancer Cell study.

Research reveals senescent immune cells promote lung tumor growth
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Macrophages are white blood cells that serve as the body's first line of defence against infection. Macrophages can launch a reaction against tumours in addition to destroying dangerous germs. However, macrophages, like other cells, can reach a state known as senescence, which is associated

Study suggest how myeloid cells contribute to a long-lived HIV reservoir
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to a study, individuals who have been virally suppressed for years on antiretroviral medication may contain HIV in a subpopulation of white blood cells known as myeloid cells. Researchers demonstrated in the study that HIV can be reactivated and infect new cells in certain myeloid
