New designer proteins created using an AI tool can selectively target peptide segments that bind to markers on diseased ...

Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumour cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system's T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By ...

Scientists have developed a hydrogel “rest stop” that shields cancer-fighting T cells, delaying their exhaustion and boosting ...

Imagine your immune cells could be modified to attack any kind of cancer. T cell receptor (TCR) therapy has the potential to ...

Sometimes, cancer cells that have spread become ‘dormant’ but can start proliferating again later. A cue that can reactivate ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered that PD-1—a molecule best known for putting the brakes on immune ...

He made a conceptual leap in immunotherapy by creating a hybrid T-cell, known as CAR-T, that was genetically modified to ...

T-cell testing could help those individuals learn whether they have any defenses against COVID-19. There are limits to what the test can reveal.

T cells are further grouped into two sub-types, CD4+ and CD8+ cells. CD4+ are helper T cells that help the activity of other immune cells by releasing cytokines.

Scientists at UC San Francisco have engineered T-cells to produce a potent anti-cancer cytokine, but only when they encounter tumor cells. The immunotherapy eliminated melanoma and pancreatic cancer ...

T Cells Might Be Our Bodies’ Best Shot Against Omicron The new variant may undermine some vaccine-derived defenses. But the immune system’s best assassins are likely to hold the line.
