A growing body of research is challenging the long-held assumption that memory and awareness belong exclusively to the brain. Scientists working across immunology, biophysics, and neuroscience have ...

Activated immune cells secrete tiny capsules bearing DNA that can enter other immune and tumor cells to stimulate the body's defense systems, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell ...

For years, one of the most powerful weapons against certain blood cancers, called CAR-T cell therapy, has required an elaborate process: Doctors extract a patient's immune cells, ship them to a ...

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

Duke researchers help reprogram immune cells inside the body, potentially expanding access to cancer therapies The following is a summary of a story that originally appeared on School of Medicine. CAR ...

New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

New research shows how a specially trained population of immune cells keeps the peace by preventing other immune cells from attacking their own. The study provides a better understanding of immune ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...

Automated cell counting in body fluids is revolutionising diagnostic pathways by replacing traditional manual methods with robust, high-throughput platforms. This approach enhances accuracy and ...

Researchers at University College Dublin have discovered a previously unknown "courier system" that cells use to deliver coherent biological messages between each other, opening new possibilities for ...
