Innate lymphoid cells, which curiously behave like T cells even though they don’t recognize specific antigens, show promise as a potential cancer therapeutic. In the years that followed, other groups ...

Promising study in dual inhibition of PD1 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

The innate immune response constitutes the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, utilising a network of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and signalling molecules to detect and neutralise ...

When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

Achieved commercially viable yield for IM1240, positioning the program competitively for future developmentValidates ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...

The increasing knowledge of barrier tissue-resident memory macrophages and trained innate immunity (TII) will help develop both nontarget-specific and target-specific TII-based vaccine strategies.

An analysis of patient records suggests that mRNA covid-19 vaccines boost the immune response to cancerous tumours when given ...

Three abstracts accepted for presentation, including one rapid oral abstract sessionPresentations to highlight ongoing clinical and translational ...

A study published in Nature looks at COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and the immune response to tumours during immunotherapy. Prof Andrew Beggs, MRC Senior Clinical Fellow and Consultant Colorectal Surgeon, ...

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...
