HERSHEY, Pa. — 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 ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

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 ...

Autoimmune diseases share the same core pathology despite their differing clinical manifestations: dysregulated B and T cell activity. B cells contribute to disease progression by secreting ...

A fluorescence image of a tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS), the lymph node-like immune structure developed in tumors. B cells (white) are making a dense aggregate of TLS. High endothelial venules ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

The need to suppress a patient’s immune system after the transplantation of allogeneic cells is associated with wide-ranging side effects. We report the outcomes of transplantation of genetically ...

Dual activation of STING and LTβR triggered a rapid response from killer T cells (CD8⁺ T cells), leading to strong tumor growth inhibition. The treatment also induced the formation of high endothelial ...
