Dendritic cells (DCs) are central players in cancer immunity, serving as the primary link between innate and adaptive immune responses. Their functional ...

Michael Junkin, PhD, leads the instrumentation for Elegen’s DNA synthesis platform. He has more than 15 years of experience in the field of microfluidics, having developed systems to study ...

The immune system faces a paradox: it must recognize dangerous invaders while carefully sparing the body it protects. This is not an enviable job. Pathogens evolve quickly to hide in plain sight, and ...

Researchers discovered a way to keep T cells from wearing out during the fight against cancer, and the approach could make immune-based treatments far more powerful. They found that tumors use a ...

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells. The study demonstrated that inducing cancer cells to ...

Researchers are increasingly shifting from simple to complex models to better recapitulate diseases. As they move from immortalized cell lines to more physiologically relevant systems such as ...

Aimee Pugh Bernard is affiliated with Immunize Colorado as a volunteer and unpaid board member. Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, defending you from thousands of ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system's T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells ...

CULVER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ImmunityBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBRX), a leading immunotherapy company, today announced new paradigm changing findings from the Phase 2 QUILT-3.055 study, ...

Human and murine studies reveal that innate immune cells are able to mount enhanced responses to pathogens after primary inflammatory exposure. Innate immune memory has been shown to last for months ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...
