Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates ...

Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists have developed an experimental strategy to give genetically engineered CAR T cells help they'd normally find within lymph nodes — but on the go, within the tumor.

A cancer drug class best known for attacking tumors may also help your immune system remember them better. Researchers at ...

As cancer cells grow, they pump out metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment. Exhausted T cells — which have lost their cancer-fighting oomph — consume this lactic acid ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- The response rate in metastatic gastroesophageal cancer improved by a relative 50% when patients received experimental activated T cells in addition to standard therapy, according to ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – August 20, 2024) Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine have discovered why the flu vaccine can perform poorly. They found ...

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 ...

As cancer cells grow, they pump out metabolic byproducts such as lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment. Newly reported research by scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Hillman ...

Blocking a protein that imports lactic acid, a metabolic byproduct of cancer cells, reinvigorated exhausted T cells and led to improved tumor control in mouse models of cancer, according to a new ...
