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 ...
Scientists have discovered how two transcription factors form a reciprocal regulatory circuit that controls T-cell exhaustion ...
Balancing the immune system is a delicate act. If it’s too weak, infections and cancer can take hold; if it’s too strong, autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection can occur. Researchers have ...
A University of Pennsylvania study has demonstrated that a dual-action lipid nanoparticle can reverse T-cell exhaustion and eliminate solid tumours in mice, offering a potentially generalisable ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the ...
Antigen presenting cells capture tumour antigen within the tumour microenvironment and migrate to tumour-draining lymph nodes where they prime tumour-reactive T cells. Tumour-reactive T cells then ...
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 ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...
