The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...
Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...
Why do diabetic wounds refuse to heal? A new scientific review highlights how disruptions in the timing and behavior of ...
Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as pivotal sentinels of the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive responses by processing and presenting antigens to T cells. Their inherent versatility enables them ...
EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...
Chronic diabetic ulcers represent one of the most challenging complications in modern healthcare, affecting over 131 million people worldwide and generating approximately $755 billion in annual ...
Researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought -- with potential for new therapeutic approaches. LMU researchers have shown that a particular ...
