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 ...

Chronic diabetic ulcers represent one of the most challenging complications in modern healthcare, affecting over 131 million people worldwide and generating approximately $755 billion in annual ...

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.

Researchers at UCLA have found a way to supercharge immune cells with a fuel source that tumors can't steal, dramatically improving their ability to survive and attack solid tumors in preclinical ...

Mitochondrial transplantation is an emerging technique aimed at restoring cellular energy production in diseases marked by ...

Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...

T cells are highly adaptable white blood cells that protect us from infections, cancer, and other threats. To do their job, T cells must rapidly switch from a quiet resting state to an active, energy ...

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