For decades, scientists have known that a protein made by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in the immune system, called ...

Scientists at McGill University have discovered a surprising new ability of immune cells that could change how we understand ...

A review finds that programmed cell death can promote immune evasion or antitumour immunity in oropharyngeal cancer depending ...

T cell immunity constitutes a central pillar of the adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, acting in concert with antibodies to prevent severe disease. CD4⁺ helper T cells orchestrate antiviral ...

T cell immunity plays a pivotal role in the host defence against SARS-CoV-2, complementing humoral responses and contributing to viral clearance, disease modulation and long-term protection. Upon ...

Recent work has shed light on another way in which tumors escape immune cell recognition. It is well known that cancer ...

When a virus enters the lungs, the immune system has to react fast. The lung maintains its own community of immune cells capable of mounting a local defense on the spot. Researchers from the ...

Microparticles made from red blood cells deliver haem to the nucleus of dendritic cells, activating a pathway that boosts ...

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells. The study demonstrated that inducing cancer cells to ...

Rapidly dividing cancer cells can develop DNA mutations that produce abnormal proteins called antigens, which are unique to ...
