For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell—known as helper T cells—from stem cells in a ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Researchers reveal that CD4+ T cells can kill cancer cells lacking MHC I by triggering ferroptosis, challenging established ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

During infections, the immune system needs to distinguish foreign molecules from invading bacteria and viruses from molecules that are made by cells of the body. If it can’t, the immune system can ...
