The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

Scientists have developed a method to reprogram cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside the body, potentially eliminating the need for complex lab-based manufacturing. Early results show rapid ...

Human peadiatric thymus image from the IBEX protein multiplex (44 proteins on the same image) platform. Thymic epithelial cells are labeled with DEC205 (cyan), pan-cytokeratin (purple), keratin 5 (red ...

Discover how therapeutic peptides act as biological messengers to treat disease, improve metabolism, and enhance immune ...

For years, one of the most powerful weapons against certain blood cancers, called CAR-T cell therapy, has required an ...

Researchers have used a method of total-body imaging to measure and track the body’s immune response to viral infection. The method is a promising platform for studying human immunity in greater ...

The human immune system is one of the body’s most complex and fascinating defence mechanisms. It works tirelessly to protect us from infections, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful invaders. While ...

The uEXPLORER total-body PET scanner at UC Davis will be used in a new project to look at the underlying causes of long COVID symptoms. (UC Davis photo) A team of UC Davis scientists used dynamic ...

When the Human Genome Project mapped and sequenced the entire set of DNA instructions in a human cell—a 13-year, $2.7 billion global endeavor that completed in 2003—it produced one of humanity’s ...

Electrically stimulating key cells in the immune system could "reprogram" them to reduce inflammation and encourage faster and more effective healing in the body. This is the discovery of scientists ...

Scientists find key protein signals that train the immune system to accept food, opening new possibilities for preventing food allergies.
