Scientists have demonstrated a dependable method to generate large numbers of helper T cells from stem cells, removing a long-standing obstacle that has limited immune-based cancer treatments. The ...

Introduction: Dysfunction of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific B cells and lack of antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are associated with failure to achieve functional cure in ...

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 ...

Scientists have figured out how to grow powerful helper T cells from stem cells by precisely timing a key biological signal. The advance could lead to off-the-shelf immune therapies that are more ...
