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 ...

A new paper published today in Cell highlights how researchers have leveraged AI-based computational protein design to create a novel synthetic ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway, a key ...

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 ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as quickly, making people more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try to ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can’t react to pathogens as quickly, making individuals more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try ...

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

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 ...
