Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

A multi-institutional study led by researchers at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and UC San Diego has uncovered new genetic rules that determine ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza A novel CAR-T cell approach targets amyloid plaques in preclinical Alzheimer models, raising the ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) altered CD8+ T-cell chromatin architecture, triggering ferroptosis and weakening antitumor immunity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) treatment restored chromatin interactions and ...

Despite improvements in therapies, multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease that will always relapse. Why is this? What is the key to finding effective therapies to cure MM? Evan Newell, a Professor in the ...

In a significant breakthrough for cancer immunotherapy, collaborative studies published simultaneously in Immunity & ...

How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy cells? Research into an immune kill switch holds potential for controlling ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can’t react to pathogens as quickly, making individuals more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try ...

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 ...
