UCLA and Stanford Medicine researchers, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Utah and Columbia University, ...

This new type of immunotherapy shows promise for treating different cancers including prostate cancer, leukaemia and lung ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

The blobfish , once considered the ugliest animal in the world, has since had quite the redemption arc. Years after it was first discovered ...

A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...

Cancer-fighting T cells do not simply "run out of energy." They are molecularly reprogrammed. For years, mitochondrial dysfunction has been recognized as a hallmark of exhausted T cells in tumors. Yet ...

Researchers are redesigning lipid nanoparticles to do more than shuttle mRNA into cells, with preclinical studies suggesting engineered particles can influence immune metabolism in ways that may ...

New research suggests the skin does much more than detect damage or keep pathogens out. By tracing how skin cells respond to ...

A collaborative effort led by Professor Wanli Liu 's team at Tsinghua University has uncovered a sophisticated mechanism by which keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the skin's epidermis, ...

The skin is far more than a simple physical barrier. These two researches address a fundamental question in immunology: How does a localized skin ...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have reported that the balance of dietary fats can alter the composition and ...

The researchers say that, to their knowledge, this is the first demonstration of programmable, site-specific integration of a large DNA payload into T cells in vivo.
