Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the immune system: the protein molecule TRAT1 (T Cell Receptor Associated ...

Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, allergic inflammation and host defence mechanisms. T helper 9 (TH9) cells, a specialised ...

Fever temperatures rev up immune cell metabolism, proliferation and activity, but they also—in a particular subset of T cells—cause mitochondrial stress, DNA damage and cell death, Vanderbilt ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...

Investigators have developed a way to 'supercharge' T cells by supplying them with extra mitochondria from multipotent stromal cells. Fighting cancer is exhausting for T cells. Hostile tumor ...

The brain and spinal cord were once thought to enjoy immune privilege, meaning they were believed to be largely insulated from immune activity elsewhere in the body. In recent years, however, ...

A new paper from MUSC Hollings Cancer Center researchers is helping to reveal the "rules" for engineering chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) Tregs. Tregs, or T-regulatory cells, have shown promise in ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a study led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine has ...

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Phase II Trial of Nivolumab Plus Doxorubicin, Vinblastine, Dacarbazine as Frontline Therapy in Older Adults With Hodgkin Lymphoma Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health burden, being ...
