Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...
Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...
A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine have discovered why the flu vaccine can perform poorly. They found that a specific type of immune cell, ...
As cancer cells grow, they pump out metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment. Exhausted T cells — which have lost their cancer-fighting oomph — consume this lactic acid ...
SAN FRANCISCO -- The response rate in metastatic gastroesophageal cancer improved by a relative 50% when patients received experimental activated T cells in addition to standard therapy, according to ...
As cancer cells grow, they pump out metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment. Newly reported research by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman ...
Blocking a protein that imports lactic acid, a metabolic byproduct of cancer cells, reinvigorated exhausted T cells and led to improved tumor control in mouse models of cancer, according to a new ...
