Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have identified a specific enzyme inside immune cells that keeps Toxoplasma gondii, one of the most common brain parasites on the planet, ...

In a study published in Nature Aging on Nov. 26, a research team from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health (SINH) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that aging specifically impairs ...

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8 + T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies. However, the factors and ...

This image shows killer T cells surrounding and attacking a cancer cell. A new atlas developed by researchers at UC San Diego could make it possible to design custom T cells for immunotherapy to ...

Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

Northwestern researchers have shown that when it comes to cancer vaccines, arrangement can be just as important as ingredients. By repositioning a small fragment of an HPV protein on a DNA-based ...

Scientists discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters an ineffective, exhausted state. Turning off two transcription factors allowed ...

A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.

New research suggests that Epstein-Barr virus may actively provoke the immune system in people with multiple sclerosis. Scientists found large buildups of virus-targeting immune cells in the nervous ...
