A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity, ...

Thus, understanding the specific immune mechanisms that fight fungal infections is essential for developing therapies and improving outcomes for those affected. Scientists have long studied a family ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering immune receptors that normally receive weak signals from tumors, these four ...

A new stem-cell-inspired technique allows scientists to grow vast numbers of immune-cell progenitors that can be engineered ...

Summary: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of liquid blood cancers by engineering a patient’s own immune cells to destroy malignant targets, replicating ...

Study reveals how our immune system transforms across a lifetime—unlocking the potential for predicting disease risk and optimizing health before symptoms appear. Resource: Integrating single-cell RNA ...

In a paper published in Cell, a USC Stem Cell-led team reports a new way of generating a renewable and expandable supply of the progenitor cells that give rise to macrophages. These immune cells help ...
