T cells are positioned at the frontline of the body's immune system to fight infection, cancer, and autoimmune disease. While different subtypes of T cells exist, how these cells take their different ...

A new study provides important insights into how T-cells, a type of immune cell, become activated. Researchers employed a technique called Bayesian metamodeling, which combines data from different ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ...

The immune system relies on complex interactions between cells to orchestrate effective responses against pathogens and tumours. Among these, T cells play a pivotal role through their ability to ...

SLAMF6 is an immune cell receptor whose function was not clear. Does it activate or inhibit cells? The results so far have been contradictory. Now, scientists at the Institut de Recherches Cliniques ...

A unique quality of the immune system is that it can generate a ‘memory’ response. This is generally referred to as ‘immune ...

It's widely known that breastfeeding impacts the health of both mother and child, but the underlying biology that leads to ...

Explore the evolution of T-cell engagers, from experimental concepts to effective therapies for haematologic malignancies.

Findings from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital demonstrate that virtual memory T cells, a specialized group of immune cells, provide nonspecific immunity for infants early in life. The work stems ...

The same pathogen can often elicit very different responses from different people. Scientists sought to understand more about ...
