Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia developed a reliable method to produce helper T cells from stem cells by precisely tuning Notch signaling, enabling scalable, off-the-shelf immune ...

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 ...

CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects millions worldwide and can have a devastating impact on patients' lives. Yet, about one in three patients respond poorly to existing ...

Scientists have demonstrated a dependable method to generate large numbers of helper T cells from stem cells, removing a long-standing obstacle that has limited immune-based cancer treatments. The ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...
