Pre-wired ability in ‘resting’ T cells to remember past viral foes discovered, a promising breakthrough for targeted cancer therapies. A team of immunologists at the University of Massachusetts ...

A new strategy to strengthen the body’s natural immune defenses against cancer is showing early promise, particularly for patients with limited treatment options.

CAR T-cell therapy is a treatment that uses a patient’s own T cells, genetically reprograms them in a lab to recognize ...

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 ...

A key molecular dynamic could be the key to fighting tumors while allowing patients to still receive life-saving cell ...

This Collection provides updated research from the Immune cell engineering for cancer therapy 2024 Collection. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have revolutionized the treatment of ...

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 ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, which uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, has emerged as a powerful way to treat lymphoma and other blood cancers. But researchers have ...

In a wholly new approach to cancer treatment, Northwestern University biomedical engineers have doubled the effectiveness of chemotherapy in animal experiments. Instead of attacking cancer directly, ...
