Signaling is fundamental to how cells sense and respond to their environment—but in immune cells, those signals must be ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on exquisitely timed molecular signals. Now researchers have captured one of the ...

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 ...

The activation and regulation of T cells are fundamental to immune homeostasis and effective defence mechanisms. Ubiquitin ligases, such as c-Cbl and Cbl-b, serve as pivotal regulators by targeting ...

The orchestration of T cell activation is central to immune defence and self-tolerance. Recent advances have revealed that T cells integrate signals from their antigen receptors alongside a network of ...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the ...

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 ...

The cells that line the inside of the gut may play a key role in triggering inflammation that drives MS, a study found.

At the 2024 annual meeting of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT) in Vancouver, Canada, Hélio Tomás, PhD, senior research associate at the Instituto de Biologia Experimental e ...

All cells in the body contain the same DNA, but different cell types express different genes; skin cells express genes for the skin, liver cells express liver genes, and so on. This coordination is ...

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear.
