Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

A naturally occurring byproduct of liver metabolism—the ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)—can strengthen the fitness and antitumor activity of CAR T cells. The findings, reported on March 6, 2026 ...

Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists have developed an experimental strategy to give genetically engineered CAR T cells help they'd normally find within lymph nodes — but on the go, within the tumor.

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. New research published in Science ...

To overcome the challenges of current CAR T-cell strategies and enhance their efficacy and specificity for acute myeloid leukemia, researchers at the Sino-American Cancer Foundation and collaborating ...

T cell lymphomas are notoriously difficult to treat because immunotherapy, despite being one of the most effective therapies for treating cancer, can't easily distinguish cancerous T cells from ...

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center report that ...

After nearly a decade of treatment, a Texas woman reached remission through an FDA-approved cellular therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

T cells are incredible. They detect foreign or abnormal proteins with remarkable specificity. Some directly kill cells containing these proteins while others call to additional components of the ...
