When a transplanted organ arrives, it’s like a controlled burn that risks becoming a wildfire. The body’s innate immune system senses damage signals, like heat shock proteins (HSP70), and sounds the ...

Researchers from VIB, VUB, and an international network of collaborators have created the most comprehensive single-cell ...

Creatine, the organic acid that is popularly taken as a supplement by athletes and bodybuilders, supercharges a critical ...

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...

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 ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...

As global oncology races toward next-generation therapies, Avammune Therapeutics is betting on affordable, orally ...

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 ...

Immunotherapy has joined surgery, radiation and chemotherapy as one of the major pillars of cancer treatment, one that sometimes results in lifelong protection against a cancer ever coming back. But ...

The immune system can work in two ways: the innate immune system reacts to any foreign invaders that are identified by immune cells that look for such pathogens; but the acquired or adaptive immune ...
