Mayo Clinic and University of Washington researchers have discovered a new culture method that unlocks the natural fighter function of immune T cells when they are passing through the bloodstream.

Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...

Immune cells work to fight infection and other diseases. Different subsets work together to elicit a healthy immune response; however, infections and disease can dysregulate cells and prevent ...

Natural killer cells are supposed to be the immune system’s first responders against cancer. They don’t need to be trained on ...

Immunotherapy has transformed cancer care, offering a way to harness the body’s own immune system to fight tumors. But even with these advances, many patients still don’t respond. One major barrier to ...
