Tapping into a cancer patient's "yin and yang" immunity could help boost their chances of survival, according to two new studies. It all comes down to an overlooked type of immune response.

After nearly 100 years of development, treatments that bolster the body's immune system to fight cancer are coming of age – and saving patients' lives.

Results from a preclinical study in mice, led by EPFL, and a collaborative clinical study in patients show that the type 2 immune response – associated with parasitic infection and thought to play a ...

Researchers have used TissueGnostics' advanced imaging and analysis tools to detect and quantify two cell types: the PD-1+ regulatory T cells (Treg)/PD-1+CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (CTL) ratio and ...

Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type -- the blood stem cell. An international research team has now investigated the developmental pathways ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with researchers at Harvard University and Brigham Young University, used the ...

Using a combination of cutting-edge immunologic technologies, researchers have successfully stimulated animals' immune systems to induce rare precursor B cells of a class of HIV broadly neutralizing ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...
