For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

A study published today in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates that genetically engineered human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can overcome immune rejection in mice with humanized immune systems, ...

T cells are supposed to be relentless. These white blood cells patrol the body, identify threats, and destroy them.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy that leverages the immune system to combat diseases, is a powerful treatment option for certain cancers. The treatment relies on ...

A team of researchers at UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a potential new strategy to prevent, and potentially reverse, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)–induced type I ...

For the 80 million people worldwide with celiac disease, the only treatment available is to cut grains like pasta and bread out of their lives. But researchers are hoping to change that with a new ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...
