A hidden communication network between brain cells and glioblastoma tumors may be key to slowing this aggressive cancer.

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 ...

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 ...

In a phase 1 study, anti-CD7 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells induced complete remission in children and adults with relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with 82% ...

Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development, and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell that elicits a more controlled immune response to cancer in mice—effectively ...

Rachel Woods does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

A newly recognized set of T helper cells seems to guard against aging by eliminating harmful senescent cells. Their presence in supercentenarians suggests they may be a key to maintaining a healthier, ...

Immune cells that have been genetically engineered to kill cancerous cells, known as CAR T-cells, have transformed the treatment of blood cancers such as leukaemia, but have proved largely ineffective ...
