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.
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
Immunotherapy research primarily focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body's own immune system. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC and Moffitt Cancer Center have taken a different approach.
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.
Prolonged illnesses, such as cancer and persistent infections, can fatigue the immune system, causing its frontline defenders, T cells, to lose their ability to act efficiently.
Researchers at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Centre and the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine have found that a straightforward dietary supplement may offer a novel way to enhance CAR T cell performance.
Researchers at Uppsala University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology have created an antibody that has the potential to treat a variety of cancers. Researchers were able to integrate three different functionalities in the antibody, which combined significantly increased the action of T ce
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.
A team of researchers has identified a number of uncommon helper T cell subtypes that are linked to immune conditions like asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis.
Researchers found out how chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes gradual liver damage, and eradicating the virus remains a daunting challenge.
