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 ...

In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the immune system's ability to fight against a tumor. Subscribe to our ...

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 ...

Cancer cells employ a variety of strategies to evade the immune system, and modern immunotherapies aim precisely at these ...

A new study maps the immune cell landscape of bone marrow in patients with multiple myeloma, a rare cancer that develops in ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...

Killer immune cells destroy cancer cells and cells infected by virus. These CD8 + T cells are activated after detection of viral infection or growth of “non-self” tumor cells. However, in chronic ...

A blood cancer diagnosis comes with a lot of new information and confusion ranging from blood tests and medical terminology to healthcare provider conversations and treatment considerations. Here’s ...
