For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

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

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the immune system's ability to fight against a tumor. Subscribe to our ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
