The results of the study could improve immunotherapy treatment for patients with colorectal and other barrier-tissue cancers.

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells under the microscope, in purple. There is a serious need for finding better ways to treat AML that comes back after initial treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR ...

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 ...

A small group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into remission by ...

Saved from precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the Nobel Prize winning CAR T-cell therapy gave Bryn Ailinger a ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...

A new type of immunotherapy that targets aggressive blood cancers shows promising results alongside manageable side effects, according to the results of an international Phase I/II clinical trial led ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

Researchers demonstrated that newly developed molecules designed to block an immune checkpoint can trigger a powerful immune response against tumors. Scientists at MIT and Stanford University have ...
