Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

The lymphatic system, made up of lymphoid tissues known as nodes and vessels, is part of the human immune system. It is involved in protecting the body against infection, by delivering immune cells, ...

Researchers have developed a mesoporous silica vaccine that primes mouse lymph nodes for subsequent vaccinations, enhancing their effects. Researchers at Harvard University (MA, USA) and Genentech (CA ...

A swollen lymph node can be a bit like your body’s version of a red flag: When one of these bean-shaped clusters of immune cells in your neck, armpit, or groin puffs up, it’s typically an indication ...

Tumors, such as melanoma, release nanovesicles called exosomes (gray) that travel and lodge in the lymph nodes. There they corrupt the behavior of lymph cells. The lymphatic vessels (green) branch out ...
