Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...
A technique that transforms immune cells into cancer-seeking bloodhounds may overcome a roadblock that has hampered ...
Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results, researchers are now watching individual molecules collide with cell ...
The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of the body, shipped to a specialized facility, genetically reprogrammed, ...
A new approach engineers immune cells to recognize byproducts of cancer cells to trigger migration toward the tumor.
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy—CAR T for short—has been a major advance in treating blood cancers like leukemia and ...
“These results show that inhibitory CARs have very interesting and underappreciated properties that can improve the performance of immune cell therapies,” said Wilson Wong, Ph.D., Professor of ...
Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...
