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 ...

Cancer cells employ a variety of strategies to evade the immune system, and modern immunotherapies aim precisely at these ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

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 ...

Immune cells work to fight infection and other diseases. Different subsets work together to elicit a healthy immune response; ...

Researchers discovered a way to keep T cells from wearing out during the fight against cancer, and the approach could make immune-based treatments far more powerful. They found that tumors use a ...

Therapies that target the utilization of fat by tumors and activate a type of cell death dependent on fat molecules may be a promising avenue to treat cancer, according to new research by UTHealth ...
