Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant ...
We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...
A research team from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, its Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy and the ...
T cells are essential components of the immune system and play critical roles in immune responses against infections, tumors, and autoimmune diseases. T cells are highly heterogeneous, with distinct ...
An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...
Scientists have discovered how two transcription factors form a reciprocal regulatory circuit that controls T-cell exhaustion ...
The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...
Immunotherapy has been one of the most transformative treatments for cancer patients in recent decades, shifting the emphasis ...
The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of the body, shipped to a specialized facility, genetically reprogrammed, ...
Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
