Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Genetically engineered immune cells known as CAR-T cells might be able to slow the progress of the neurodegenerative condition amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by killing off rogue immune cells in ...

Shyam Bansal receives funding from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust. He is a member ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development, and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check ...

CAR T-cell therapy, which transforms patients’ own immune cells into cancer-fighting warriors, has revolutionized how physicians treat cancer, especially blood cancers. “These patients can be cured ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...
