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 ...

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

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

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important ...

The anti-tumor immune response involves a series of complex steps mediated by various immune cells and signaling molecules.

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

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 ...
