Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

Scientists have uncovered how a vitamin A metabolite can suppress anti-cancer immunity. Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have uncovered new ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

Retinoic acid suppresses immune defenses against cancer, but a new drug KyA33 boosts vaccine success and slows tumor growth ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...
