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 ...

Immunotherapy uses a person's own immune system to fight cancer. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are one class of immunotherapy that block specific proteins from slowing the immune response. As a result, ...

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 ...

In this segment, Dr Luskin examines how patient-related factors influence treatment decisions in blastic plasmacytoid ...

A recent study has reported that a short-acting mRNA therapy can rejuvenate immune function in older mice by compensating for ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

A therapy based on messenger RNA (mRNA), a genetic material actively studied for vaccines and other applications, has turned ...

Can the weakened immune systems of older individuals be rejuvenated? Researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ ...

Engineered dendritic cells capture tumor EVs, enhancing antigen presentation and T cell activation to boost cancer immunotherapy in preclinical models.
