Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

The immune system relies on complex interactions between cells to orchestrate effective responses against pathogens and tumours. Among these, T cells play a pivotal role through their ability to ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship to help protect their larger host organisms. The building blocks required ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

Selected as a C-Further program with up to $1.1 million in non-dilutive, aggregate payments to advance IND-enabling development, with potential for meaningful double-digit downstream commercial ...

After nearly a decade of treatment, a Texas woman reached remission through an FDA-approved cellular therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has emerged as a transformative approach in modern medicine, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in targeting pathogenic B-cell lineages with ...
