Research revealed that foetuses are not as defenceless as once thought; they can actually fight infections from within the womb. This new understanding could significantly change the way doctors protect foetuses from infections that lead to serious hea…
A research team has uncovered a molecular strategy employed by worm parasites (helminths) to evade host immune defenses. This discovery opens new avenues for the development of innovative vaccines and therapies. The study offers promising solutions for…
Scientists have developed a ‘molecular GPS’ to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue.
A groundbreaking phase one clinical trial explored a novel cell-based immunotherapy for breast cancer. The study focuses on a new treatment approach that aims to harness the body’s immune system to enhance patient responses and reduce the need for conv…
The first comprehensive map of the dramatic changes that take place in the blood system over the course of the human lifetime could have implications for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and other blood diseases.
When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer.
A recently published study on a new approach to understanding chronic inflammation could lead to new advancements in the treatment of many debilitating medical conditions, including cancer.
Specially packaged DNA secreted by tumor cells can trigger an immune response that inhibits the metastatic spread of the tumor to the liver, according to a new study. The discovery improves the scientific understanding of cancer progression and antican…
Chronic fatigue syndrome creates conditions where pathogen-killing immune T cells become exhausted, according to a new study.
Scientists created a new therapeutic design for glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer. The lab engineered molecules called trispecifics that connect cancer-killing T cells with not just one but two different brain cancer receptors.
