Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

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 ...

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 ...

A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has turned what we know about T-cells, one of the most important parts of the body's immune system, on its head, opening the door to ...

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California (USC) have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response ...

During vaccination, the immune system is purposefully exposed to weakened, inactivated, or a component of pathogens so that the body can recognize their molecular structures in the future and mount a ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...
