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 ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...

As populations age worldwide, the decline of the immune system, a process known as immunosenescence, has become a critical biomedical challenge. This decline leads to increased susceptibility to ...

There has been a medical breakthrough at UAB. A new study has discovered a possible root cause to preeclampsia.

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.

Dr.Thomas L. F. Montgomery Andresen joins from T-Cypher BioFollows breakthrough non-human primate data demonstrating deep B-cell depletion ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Researchers designed CAR T cells that locally release VEGF-blocking molecules, weakening tumor defenses and boosting immune attack. The therapy slowed tumor growth and improved survival in cancer ...

The NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK), a molecule pivotal for immune system development and function, shows significant yet complex potential as a therapeutic target. The comprehensive review, published by ...

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 ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.
