Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...
Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...
Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...
Immune system cells can be engineered outside of the body in a type of therapy called CAR-T. Now, Johns Hopkins scientists are developing ways to sidestep such cell manufacturing with a biodegradable ...
Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...
A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.
Methods developed and validated to establish the "World Bank of NK Cells" from healthy donors and cancer patients -- Single apheresis yields up to 5 billion (5×109) highly pure activated memory ...
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center postdoctoral researcher Catherine Rono studies how metabolic stress in myeloid cells ...
