Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with ...

A multi-institutional study has mapped the genetic circuitry that determines whether CD8 killer T cells become durable immune defenders or lapse into exhaustion, and has shown that disabling two ...

Even when immune memory cells form in the lung after influenza infection, insufficient dietary iron leaves them less able to mount a strong antiviral response, revealing how nutrition can shape ...

Scientists uncover a new “recipe” that shows how exhausted T cells can be reprogrammed to regain their ability to attack tumors.

Memory T cells are a special type of white blood cell that "remember" past infections and vaccines, helping our bodies to quickly respond if we encounter the same germs again. These cells are found ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a ...

Scientists have discovered key genetic factors that determine whether a T cell acts as a powerful disease fighter or enters ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...
