Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Understanding the interplay between T cells and B cells is pivotal to delineating both protective immunity and the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Central to this dynamic are specialised CD4⁺ T ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide and can have a devastating impact on patients' lives. Yet, about one in three patients respond poorly to existing ...

There are two types of Tph cells in rheumatoid arthritis joints that have different roles. Stem-like Tph cells live inside immune “hubs” called tertiary lymphoid structures, where they interact ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...

New research reveals that tiny amounts of PFAS—widely known as "forever chemicals"—cross the placenta and breast milk to alter infants' developing immune systems, potentially leaving lasting imprints ...
