For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

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 ...

Next-generation automation is closing the gap between curative science and real-world demand, enabling faster development, ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Researchers have used an experimental mRNA therapy to make old immune cells in mice behave as if they were young again, ...

Scientists have discovered that T cells -- white blood cells that can destroy harmful pathogens -- can completely prevent viral infection, to an extent previously thought only possible due to ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment by using the patient's own T-cells to target tumors.

Clusters of T cells, that are part of our immune system protecting us against harmful pathogens, under a microscope. By studying them, Duke-NUS scientists have found that T cells can independently ...
