How do immune cells strike a balance, unleashing rapid attacks against pathogens or cancer, while avoiding damage to healthy ...

Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering immune receptors that normally receive weak signals from tumors, these four ...

Supercharging immune cells could provide an effective way to tackle cancer, according to new research by scientists in ...

Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...

The cancer gene MYC camouflages tumours by suppressing alarm signals that normally activate the immune system. This finding ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

Researchers found an antibody that seems to play a role in people with better lung cancer prognoses, but turning it into a ...

A new discovery about how cells communicate with each other in the body's immune system has revealed deeper insights for an ...

A vitamin A byproduct could weaken the immune system's cancer-fighting ability, according to new Princeton University ...

Scientists have uncovered a hidden battle between a widespread brain parasite and the immune cells tasked with destroying it. A parasite that can quietly persist in the human brain is capable of ...

Endurance exercise may train the immune system as much as the muscles. Older adults with decades of running or cycling had immune cells that functioned better and aged more slowly. Their inflammation ...
