EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

The immune system possesses legions of T cells that, if primed, could hunt down and destroy tumors. Now, a UC San Francisco ...

Dendritic cells alter the chemokine gradient they follow to direct themselves to the lymph nodes. An immune response is an impressive feat of collective migration involving many cell types and ...

AIVITA Biomedical, Inc., a biotechnology company developing personalized vaccines for the prevention of infectious disease ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

Scientists made universal stem-cell-derived dendritic "immune teacher" cells that can be coated with a patient’s tumor ...

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

In the article that accompanies this editorial, van ‘t Land et al 24 report that additional pancreatic cancer adjuvant therapy with autologous, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...
