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 ...

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 ...

A ’triad’ made of a killer T cell (red), helper t cell (green), and dendritic cell (yellow) unite to form a strong fighting force against cancer cells. There’s a frustrating fact about today’s ...

Researchers have used a new method, ReapTEC, to identify rare types of helper T cells that are associated with immune disorders. The immune system is largely made up of a type of white blood cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study provides a better understanding of immune ...

Researchers have identified that the status of the T-cell Golgi apparatus is a key indicator of performance in cancer immunotherapy approaches. A group of researchers working at the Medical University ...

Baohua Zhou, Naresh Singh and Samantha Sharma study immune cells that could be reprogrammed to fight cancer in the lab. INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have developed a ...
