Billions of people now carry immune memory from COVID-19 vaccination or infection, and a team of researchers has found a way ...

A new study published in Science identifies a specialised dendritic cell subset as the cellular architects behind tertiary ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

Belgian scientists have uncovered new details about how the immune system responds to vaccines. Dendritic cells, which are key immune messengers that help kick-start the body's defenses, show specific ...

The immune system has evolved to mount immune responses against foreign pathogens and to remain silent against self-antigens. A balance between immunity and tolerance is required as any disturbance ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

Dendritic cells are among the first to detect viruses, bacteria, or other immune challenges. These cells help coordinate the immune system’s response by alerting T cells, the immune system’s soldiers ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...
