T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...

A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy—CAR T for short—has been a major advance in treating blood cancers like leukemia and ...

New research links atopic dermatitis to S1P signalling pathways driving inflammation. Learn how this could shape future ...

Immune cells engineered to sense cancer's metabolic byproducts can migrate to and infiltrate tumors, improving immunotherapy ...
