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

New findings reveal how cancer manipulates immune pathways and highlight therapeutic strategies to unleash T-cells against even the most resistant tumors. Study: Cancer cells impair monocyte-mediated ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Recent studies have uncovered a fascinating link between dark chocolate consumption and stem cell activation. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of over 70 percent has been shown to activate stem ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

Doctors also sometimes replenish blood cells in cancer patients using healthy blood stem cells drawn from the patients themselves, although these stem cells may be harder to activate and expand if ...

Immunotherapy has revolutionized the way physicians treat patients. Previously, chemotherapy was the standard-of-care with the goal to eliminate tumor cells by dysregulating their ability to ...

Researchers create a magnetic nanoscale system that reversibly switches groove and ridge structures to regulate stem cell adhesion and differentiation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue regeneration depends ...

A study in mice has found that maternal gut microbiome composition during pregnancy has long-term effects on offspring stem cell growth and development. The researchers, headed by Parag Kundu, PhD, at ...
