Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...

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 ...

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 ...

T cell development is a tightly regulated process that transforms immature thymocytes into mature T cells with distinct functionalities. In the thymus, precursor cells undergo a series of selection ...

Fred Hutch Cancer Center scientists have developed an experimental strategy to give genetically engineered CAR T cells help ...

After spending years tracing the origin and migration pattern of an unusual type of immune cell in mice, researchers headed by a team at The Ohio State University College of Medicine have shown how ...
