Scientists have discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters ...

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

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...

Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...
