In a recent study published in Nature Immunology, researchers investigated the direct influence of sodium (Na+) ions on the cytotoxic cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8)-expressing T cells and hence on ...

Cancer immunotherapy has revolutionized treatment for many patients, but significant challenges remain in predicting who will respond to these life-saving treatments. A new comprehensive review ...

CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) serve as central effectors in cancer immunotherapy by directly eliminating tumor cells. However, current clinical therapies face significant limitations. These ...

Immunostimulant therapy using agonistic cytokines or activating antibodies has been associated with off-target side effects, failure to preferentially activate cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) over ...

This webinar explains how CAR-T cells transfected using Solupore® technology from Avectas and sorted using the CGX10 Cell Isolation System from Sony Biotechnology outperform unsorted cells in ...

Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells are key drivers of alopecia areata, mediating epithelial cell death and immune infiltration. JAK inhibitors are approved for AA treatment, but recurrence is common, ...

As the trained killers of the immune system, cytotoxic T cells silently save our lives every day—vanquishing viruses before they can run amok, and putting nascent cancer cells out of business before ...

Meet the Jekyll and Hyde of the immune system: activated CD8⁺ T cells. On June 24 in Nature Immunology, researchers led by Dorian McGavern at the National Institutes of Health introduce a granzyme ...
