Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering ...

A new study maps the immune cell landscape of bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma, a rare cancer that develops in ...

Cancer cells employ a variety of strategies to evade the immune system, and modern immunotherapies aim precisely at these ...

A new study shows human immune systems differ across populations, raising new questions for medicine and global drug research ...

Immunotherapy, which uses programmed immune cells to selectively destroy cancer cells, has transformed cancer treatment. However, cancer cells have developed immune evasion strategies, leading to poor ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. But now, scientists at UC San Francisco ...

Research into immunotherapy against cancer typically focuses on better recognition of cancer cells by the body's own immune ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

Certain immune cells backstab their cellular coworkers during allergic reactions. Mast cells, the security patrols of the immune system, can trigger allergic inflammation when they run into unfamiliar ...
