Percentage of γδ T cells increased in multiple myeloma patients. (A) gating for γδ T cells in multiple myeloma patients; (B) gating for γδ T cells in healthy controls. - Increased CD8⁺ T cells (P < ...

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a ...

Detailed mapping of CD4⁺ T cells from children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has revealed distinct immune cell subsets with likely roles in disease pathogenesis, according to a study led by ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

Detailed mapping of CD4⁺ T cells from children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has revealed distinct immune cell subsets with likely roles in disease pathogenesis, according to a study led by ...

Scientists analyzing human and mouse pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) and spleens have identified a distinct subset of CD4 memory helper T cells associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reported by ...

Colorectal cancer can be treated using immunotherapy approaches that use the immune cells to target cancer cells and induce the killing of those cancer cells. Some colorectal cancer types have been ...

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is one of the most serious complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‑HSCT). It can rapidly progress to multi‑organ failure, ...

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 ...

As the trained killers of the immune system, cytotoxic T cells silently save our lives every day—vanquishing viruses before they can run amok, and putting nascent cancer cells out of business before ...
