Contrary to public concerns, receiving frequent COVID-19 booster vaccinations will not weaken the immune system, providing reassurance to vulnerable groups facing new variants. Study: No evidence of ...

The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts and packages proteins to be sent to their final destinations, whether that's within or outside of the cell. It's a core function, but little studied in the setting ...

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 ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have characterized a hidden intermediate state at the center of Src ...

An engineered viral protein enhanced the anticancer function of T cells in mice, suggesting a new strategy to improve immunotherapy. Courtney and his team sought to exploit this property of TIP to ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

A team of researchers from the University of Chicago, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, has identified a novel oncometabolite that accumulates in tumors and impairs ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...
