Creating cancer therapies based around natural killer cells could offer similar levels of efficacy to CAR-T therapies, but at around one hundredth of the cost. Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer ...

Imatinib mesylate, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, can induce caspase-independent death of tumour cells, can enhance natural killer (NK)-cell activities and can induce the expansion of a ...

Antigen-specific T helper and NKT cells, homeostatically restrained by Treg cells, contribute to intestinal inflammation and their influx can be therapeutically targeted. Work in the Kaser lab is ...

Autoimmune disorders occur when immune cells go wrong and attack the body’s own tissues. Currently, autoimmune disorders are largely treated by broad immunosuppressive agents and blocking antibodies, ...

The detected cell types included ciliated, alveolar type 1 (AT1) and -AT2 cells, along with fibroblast, muscle and endothelial cells. The identified immune cell types were T, B and NK cells, along ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Jan. 23, 2025 — There's a downside to being a powerful alpha male -- at least if you're a baboon. Studies show that despite their high rank, the No. 1 males in baboon society are also some of ...
