Researchers develop promising new cancer therapy
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Keytruda and Opdivo work by unleashing the immune system's T cells to attack tumour cells. Their introduction a decade ago marked a major advance in cancer therapy, but only 10 per cent to 30 per cent of treated patients experience long-term improvement.

Study: New way in which T cells learn to tell friend from foe
Updated : 3 years, 8 months ago IST
Washington [US], June 28 (ANI): Researchers identify new mechanism that teaches immune cells-in-training to spare the body's own tissues while attacking pathogens. As part of this early education, specialized thymus cells 'pose' as different tissues, teaching the immune system how to recogni
