Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC and their collaborators are exploring emerging trends in cancer immunotherapy with back-to-back review articles published in ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells that uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation ...

When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat the ...

LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a specialized process for degrading dead cells, microbes or other particles. It plays a role in innate immunity, inflammation regulation and anticancer responses.

Nobel laureate Shimon Sakaguchi reflects on the role of regulatory T cells in peripheral immune tolerance and how the cells ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to a trio of scientists for unraveling how the immune system protects us from thousands of different microbes trying to invade our ...

Immunoglobulin-like receptors represent a diverse family of cell surface molecules that play crucial roles in coordinating and fine-tuning immune responses. These receptors share structural motifs ...

As microbes invade the human body, phagocytic cells such as macrophages spring into action to clear the intruders. These cells extend arm-like projections and wrap them around the microbes before ...
