Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...

Cornell biomedical engineers have developed specialized white blood cells - dubbed "super natural killer cells" - that seek out cancer cells in lymph nodes with only one purpose: destroy them. This ...

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 ...

When war breaks out, power plants are attacked first along with military facilities like air defense networks. The same thing happens in the war inside the human body. Cancer cells have been found to ...

A picture of immune cells in a lymph node. Resident cells are marked in red, circulating ones in cyan. What is striking is that regulatory T cells (outlined in yellow) are found in both forms. The ...
