Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune function and activating cGAS-STING and type I interferon signaling that ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...

For years, it has been a mainstay of treatment to stop the spread of many cancers. But is the removal of lymph nodes – tiny, bean-shaped nodules that filter waste and bacteria – really the best way to ...

Lymph nodes aren't just passive waiting rooms for immune cells, they actively train and educate T cells, and send them off to do their job." Axel Kallies, Professor, Laboratory Head, Doherty Institute ...

The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered that a fibroblast subtype is essential for coordinating certain immune cells ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, or CAR-T, has transformed treatment for blood cancers. The immunotherapy involves reprogramming a patient's own immune cells to recognize and attack tumor ...

Our lymph nodes are the canaries in the coal mine of our immune system – firing into gear at the first indication of illness, then sending immune cells where they’re needed in the body to fight ...
