Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna have taken a closer look at a previously largely unknown component of the ...

The body has an intricate system to defend against infections where each type of immune cell plays a distinct role. Now, a study led by researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine has ...

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Current approved CAR T-cell therapy treatments rely ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...

Cancer dysregulates the complex structure of tissues and internal cellular pathways. As a result, the immune system loses its ability to effectively target tumor cells. The immune system is made up of ...

Capstan Therapeutics scientists demonstrate that lipid nanoparticles can engineer CAR T cells within the body without laboratory cell manufacturing and ex vivo expansion. The method using targeted ...
