Our immune system implements an array of strategies to combat threatening infections. White blood cells called cytotoxic T ...

A new predictive framework reprograms T cells to sustain immune memory while preserving their ability to fight cancer and infections.

The emergence of T-cell therapy has fundamentally reshaped the approach to preventing and treating viral infections in patients undergoing allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

SAN DIEGO — Infections account for nearly half of all deaths not caused by disease relapse among patients with advanced blood cancers after treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell ...

Clusters of T cells, that are part of our immune system protecting us against harmful pathogens, under a microscope. By studying them, Duke-NUS scientists have found that T cells can independently ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...

A new generation of engineered immune cell destroys cancer cells in mice 1 as effectively as conventional CAR-T-cell ...

The immune system works to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Various cell types and immune mechanisms work in concert to fight disease. Specifically, two waves of immunity orchestrate a robust ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and the Singapore General Hospital have discovered that T cells-white blood cells that can destroy harmful pathogens-can completely prevent viral infection, to ...

From the moment they’re born, newborns — or, specifically, their immune systems — must learn to fight germs without harming their own tissues. In a new study, Yale researchers found that one type of ...
