Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...

Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...

This figure illustrates the odor sensor function of Pv11-00443-Or47a cell line. When pentyl acetate binds specifically to the olfactory receptor Or47a, the channel formed by Or47a and co-receptor Orco ...

A new approach engineers immune cells to recognize byproducts of cancer cells to trigger migration toward the tumor.

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy—CAR T for short—has been a major advance in treating blood cancers like leukemia and ...

Macrophages, the immune system’s front-line scavenger cells, do more than simply digest dead cells. A new study published in ...

Scientists have developed a method to reprogram cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside the body, potentially ...

A new, highly sensitive cell therapy was able to wipe out three different kinds of solid tumors in mice, an important advance in an area where CAR-T cells have long struggled. But significant ...

A technique that transforms immune cells into cancer-seeking bloodhounds may overcome a roadblock that has hampered immunotherapy for solid tumors, according to a new study by Stanford Medicine ...
