CD4+ T cells, long regarded as supporting actors in cancer immunity, are emerging as central regulators of tumor control and ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

Cytotoxic T cells are star players in the adaptive immune system, enforcing protection against invading viruses or cancer cells. However, evidence has been mounting that the cells may also deal a ...

Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...

A modified herpes virus boosted immune T cell infiltration in glioblastoma tumors and was associated with improved survival.

Meet the Jekyll and Hyde of the immune system: activated CD8⁺ T cells. On June 24 in Nature Immunology, researchers led by Dorian McGavern at the National Institutes of Health introduce a granzyme ...
