Cancer immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer cells. The treatment involves CD8⁺ T cells, also known as killer T cells, which play a crucial role ...

Active aldehydes drive T cell exhaustion in the tumor microenvironment This motivated a team of researchers from Kyoto University to investigate this conundrum. A key physiological role of FAO is the ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic rules that determine whether the immune system’s “killer” T cells remain powerful long-term defenders or become worn out and ineffective. By building a detailed ...

Researchers have published the first description of the role of the ZFP36 family of RNA binding proteins in regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs are key to maintaining balance in the immune system and ...

Immunity is orchestrated by two responses referred to as the innate and adaptive immune systems. Each system works to ...
