Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have identified a signaling loop involved in the growth and persistence of leukemia cells—and developed a novel immunotherapy that can disrupt that loop to ...

For cancer- and infection-fighting T cells, glucose offers far more than a simple sugar rush. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A new discovery by Van Andel Institute ...

Glucose is more than just an essential fuel for T cells — significant amounts of glucose also are used to build large molecules called glycosphingolipids (GSLs). These sugar-fat compounds are ...

A new generation of CAR T cell therapy is bringing hope in the fight against cancer, targeting not only blood cancers but also solid tumors such as ovarian and breast cancer. Fraunhofer researchers ...

Scientists at UCL have engineered a rare type of immune cell to kill slow-growing bowel cancer cells that are resistant to current therapies, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments in the ...
