Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy is emerging as a promising next-generation immunotherapy with ...

Supercharged ‘natural killer’ cells could become a potent way to reset a disordered immune system — and thus quench some autoimmune disorders. Results from two small clinical trials suggest that ...

"Why do immune cells that are supposed to eliminate viruses suddenly turn against our own body?" There are instances where killer T cells—which are meant to precisely remove virus-infected ...

UCSF scientists have developed a “molecular GPS” to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue. It is the first living cell therapy that can navigate through the ...

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells represent a distinctive subset of lymphocytes that bridge the innate and adaptive immune systems. Characterised by a semi‐invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and ...
