A study shows mitochondrial electron flow keeps dendritic cells primed, regulating gene activity and T-cell activation. The ...

The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

The immune system is made up of various cells that combat disease. Each cell plays a pivotal role in mediating infection to ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer—and how restoring their ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...

Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) and the Institute for Research in ...
