Cancer immunotherapy has been transformed by engineered T cells, but those bespoke treatments are slow, expensive, and out of ...

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells represent a unique lymphocyte subset that bridges innate and adaptive immunity. Their development originates in the thymus from double‐positive precursor cells, ...

Scientists at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) have uncovered how the gut microbiota help the immune system fight melanoma, explaining why patients with a ...

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 ...

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is emerging as a promising next-generation immunotherapy with ...

A new method for engineering natural killer cells could make cancer immunotherapy more efficient, scalable, and affordable, ...

Natural killer (NK) cells are the bodyguards of our immune system. As a first line of defense, they destroy invading pathogens, foreign bodies, and infected cells in early stages, thereby preventing ...

Researchers report the discovery that a protein called "Runx3" programs killer T cells to establish residence in tumors and infection sites. During infection or tumor growth, a type of specialized ...

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 ...
