By genetically altering human immune cells to accurately detect and eliminate ... augmenting the persistence and anti-tumor activity of engineered T cells, improving the homing and infiltration of ...

"Measles infects immune cells, and when it does so, it damages immune cells and it partially wipes out your immune system's memory to certain infections, so that leaves you more susceptible to ...

Recent research has clarified the intricate relationship between the central nervous system (CNS) and cancer, particularly how the CNS influences tumor growth and metastasis via regulating immune cell ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that water influx is necessary for immune cells called T cells to activate and divide in response to a threat. T cells defend against ...

Immune cells that eat bacteria in the body don't stash them in specialized compartments as once thought, but turn them into critical nutrients that build proteins, create energy and keep the cells ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches. As part of the innate immune system ...

Genes that encode B cell receptors (BCRs) and T cell receptors (TCRs) provide a detailed record of the antigens (both ‘self’ and ‘non-self’) that a human body has responded to — a sort ...

What is the immune system? The immune system works to keep germs and other foreign substances out of the body and destroy any that get in. It's made up of a complicated network of cells and organs. It ...

"These findings furnish new lines of approach for therapeutic strategies that could influence immune cell infiltration in atherosclerotic plaques and could contribute in the long term to the ...
