Cancer immunotherapy has been transformed by engineered T cells, but those bespoke treatments are slow, expensive, and out of ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells represent a unique lymphocyte subset that bridges innate and adaptive immunity. Their development originates in the thymus from double‐positive precursor cells, ...

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is emerging as a promising next-generation immunotherapy with ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

"Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body?" There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a significant discovery regarding the cultivation of ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

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