One of the main tricks that most tumors use is to manipulate a type of immune cell called a macrophage, causing it to protect the tumor from the rest of the immune system, recruit blood vessels and ...

This manuscript offers an exploration of the immune cells in the oyster Crassostrea gigas, by correlating distinct hemocyte morphotypes with specific single-cell transcriptional profiles. The evidence ...

The immune system works to maintain homeostasis throughout the body. Various cell types and immune mechanisms work in concert to fight disease. Specifically, two waves of immunity orchestrate a robust ...

Researchers have unlocked a powerful new way to fight solid tumors using smart immune cells that stay active longer and hit harder. Called EchoBack CAR T-cells, these new cancer-fighting tools ...

In a paper published in Nature, researchers from Mass General Brigham used preclinical models to uncover Tim-3’s role in microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, and have identified it as a ...
