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 ...

Automated TCR-T production streamlines personalized immunotherapy, reducing patient burden and improving engineered T cell quality.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have transformed cancer and autoimmune disease treatment. Modified CAR proteins equip T cells with the ability to identify and eliminate cancer cells ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

A new paper published today in Cell highlights how researchers have leveraged AI-based computational protein design to create a novel synthetic ligand that activates the Notch signaling pathway, a key ...

Autoimmune diseases share the same core pathology despite their differing clinical manifestations: dysregulated B and T cell activity. B cells contribute to disease progression by secreting ...

Progress in the treatment of T-cell blood cancers – which are rare – has also been modest. So, much remains to be done to improve the situation, particularly for patients with myeloid disease. The ...

A new type of cancer cell that "warrants urgent investigation" has been discovered in childhood leukemia and could impact clinical care. Research into new or repurposed treatments that target this new ...

Scientists have discovered that T cells -- white blood cells that can destroy harmful pathogens -- can completely prevent viral infection, to an extent previously thought only possible due to ...

Recent immunology research has unveiled the complex relationship between vitamin D and immune system function. This vital nutrient is involved in the development and function of the immune system, ...
