How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy ...

A new multi-pronged antibody design could help immune cells receive stronger activation signals against cancer. Researchers at the University of Southampton have identified a new strategy that could ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a ...

Despite improvements in therapies, multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease that will always relapse. Why is this? What is the key to finding effective therapies to cure MM? Evan Newell, a Professor in the ...

CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) serve as central effectors in cancer immunotherapy by directly eliminating tumor cells. However, current clinical therapies face significant limitations. These ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can’t react to pathogens as quickly, making individuals more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try ...

Magnetic nanoparticles engineered T cells inside living mice and guided them into solid tumors, achieving over 90% tumor ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...
