Researchers at UCLA have found a way to supercharge immune cells with a fuel source that tumors can't steal, dramatically improving their ability to survive and attack solid tumors in preclinical ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

Stimulating the liver to generate signals normally produced by the thymus can reverse age-related declines in T-cell populations.

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. Immune cells that are designed to ...

One of the main changes is a loss of the innate immune system's naive T cells, the first line of defense against pathogens, and an increase in the adaptive immune system's memory T cells. This ...

Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have traced a deadly cat coronavirus in a way that changes what you think ...
