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 ...

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 ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, defending you from thousands of pathogens that cause disease while sparing your body's own healthy cells. This careful equilibrium is ...

Researchers released a consensus statement with recommendations to update T cell nomenclature and improve communication ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, attacking harmful invaders while protecting your own tissues. When that balance breaks, infections can spread unchecked, or the body ...

Researchers discovered a way to keep T cells from wearing out during the fight against cancer, and the approach could make immune-based treatments far more powerful. They found that tumors use a ...
