At the AD/PD meeting held last month in Vienna, scientists implicated T lymphocytes—specifically, the cytotoxic, CD8-positive variety—in Alzheimer’s disease. While the modus operandi of these cells in ...

Hiroshima University researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for the mass production of genome-edited T cells that ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body’s specialized “killer” cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their action relies on a specialized exchange zone called the “immune synapse,” ...

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 ...

New findings reveal how cancer manipulates immune pathways and highlight therapeutic strategies to unleash T-cells against even the most resistant tumors. Study: Cancer cells impair monocyte-mediated ...

Balancing the immune system is a delicate act. If it’s too weak, infections and cancer can take hold; if it’s too strong, autoimmune diseases or transplant rejection can occur. Researchers have ...

Genetically engineered CAR T cells expressing artificial receptor proteins are increasingly used in the clinic to boost the ...
