Prolonged illnesses like cancer and chronic infections often leave the immune system in a state of exhaustion, where its frontline defenders—T cells—lose their ability to function effectively.

The Nr4a family of nuclear receptors has been implicated in thymocyte central tolerance via clonal deletion and regulatory T cell induction ... and contribute to an anergy-like transcriptome ...

Researchers have revolutionized cancer immunotherapy by developing a way to grow T cells in the lab that live longer and fight cancer more effectively. They identified flaws in traditional methods, ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

It essentially hacks the immune cells, transferring its own faulty mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the T-cells meant to attack it. This sneaky move weakens the immune cells, making them less ...

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

That was a weird thing to be happening in cell biology. But at first it seemed to many researchers little more than a quirk and didn’t excite much attention. Then these little blobs—now called ...

In a significant step forward for India’s cancer treatment, Immuneel Therapeutics, a leading cell and gene therapy statrtup backed by entrepreneur Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, has unveiled Qartemi, the ...
