Specialized cells help to create a nurturing environment in which tumour-fighting immune cells can thrive and work to eliminate lung cancer, a study 1 in tissue from mice and humans has found ...

T cells are a type of white blood cell that protect against infection and help fight cancer. In the lymph organs, T cells are trained by antigen-presenting cells, which, as their name suggests ...

Just a few weeks ago, a report in Cell Metabolism showed that a chemical that is often thought of as a waste product released from cells, called lactate, can actually boost the function of immune ...

Institute of Immunobiology-led research has made a significant breakthrough in understanding how the body combats lung cancer. Their study reveals that specific cells, known as fibroblastic ...

In the publication, the researchers not only show that the hijacked macrophages can be retrained to fight the cancer cells again, inhibiting the tumor growth by 70% in breast tumor mouse models.

Researchers at the Dallas-based UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center report that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, may rejuvenate immune cells that fight ...

A new way to grow T cells in the lab enables them to live longer and better destroy cancer cells in a mouse model of melanoma compared to those grown in traditional growth media. The findings&nbsp ...

T cells recognize and kill cancer cells but quickly lose their effectiveness. This fast dysfunction may help explain why immunotherapy doesn’t lead to long-term remission for many patients.

IL-15 helps to switch T cells to a stem-like state, but the cells can get stuck there instead of maturing to fight cancer. The team analysed gene activity in CAR T cells and found that IL-15 ...
