UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have discovered that increasing the levels of a protein called BACH2 makes ...

T cell receptors (TCRs) are fundamental to the adaptive immune system, playing a pivotal role in recognising and responding to pathogenic challenges. Generated through the process of V(D)J ...

The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

Just before the pandemic took center stage in 2020, scientists at a T cell memory conference convened to discuss a less than traditional topic: nomenclature. Prior to the event, the workshop ...

T cells play central roles in the adaptive immune response against cancer. Their functional inactivation is a primary driver of tumor progression, making the reactivation of T cell function a main ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell-based therapy has greatly improved cancer treatment, especially for hematologic cancers. 1 By providing T cells with synthetic receptors that target tumor ...

T cells are the immune system’s frontline fighters. When they detect danger, they rapidly multiply and transform into effector cells that destroy pathogens. This transformation demands an intense ...

Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a multifunctional cytokine that plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, allergic inflammation and host defence mechanisms. T helper 9 (TH9) cells, a specialised ...
