Modulating T Cell Exhaustion Offers Novel Therapeutic Pathways in Transplantation

A comprehensive new review examines the complex role of T cell exhaustion in organ transplantation, highlighting how this dysfunctional immune state can both promote graft tolerance and create vulnerabilities to infection and malignancy.

Tireless Stem Cells Drive Continuous Renewal Across High Friction Human Intestines

Digestion is hard on the cells that line the human gut, and they are constantly being shed and replaced. This renewal is driven by a population of tireless stem cells. These stem cells can both replace the various types of intestinal cells that have been lost as well as renew themselves.

Newly Identified Protein Prevents T Cells From Destroying Cancer Cells

Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified a protein that cancer cells use to suppress the body's immune response, a finding that could support the development of new treatments to improve the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies.

Macrophages Release Brain Protein Beacon Drawing Nerves Into Breast Tumors

New research from the University of Oklahoma demonstrates how an aggressive form of breast cancer co-opts the body's own immune system to attract nerves that fuel tumor growth.

T Cells Identify Dangerous Pathogenic Threats to Keep Bodies Healthy

Your body depends on T cells to stay healthy. These white blood cells act like a neighborhood watch in the body, helping the immune system spot threats such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Joint Research Team Demonstrates New Cell Sequencing Strategy for Glioblastoma

A joint research team led by Professor Sungsu Park of Sungkyunkwan University and Professor Sun-Ha Paek of Seoul National University College of Medicine has demonstrated for the first time that the sequence in which immune cells interact with cancer cells can critically influence the therapeutic response in glioblastoma.

Research Decodes How Gut Microbes Process Plant-Based Nutrients

Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria.

Novel Dendritic Cell Vaccine Redirects Viral Memory to Fight Tumors

In a discovery that could redefine the future of cancer immunotherapy, scientists from Celloram Inc., University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have developed a novel cancer vaccine platform that transforms the impact of the largest immunological event in modern history

Deep-Learning Holography Detects Elusive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer

Researchers combined microfluidic enrichment, AI-assisted holography, and fluorescence profiling to identify circulating tumor cell candidates in 13 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and 8 healthy donors. The platform found higher median candidate counts in patients, while nearly two-thirds of PSMA-positive candidates lacked EpCAM, suggesting EpCAM-dependent assays could miss some cells.

Research Maps Structural Mechanism Linking Amino Acid Availability to Cancer Growth

Cells carry their own growth switches. When enough nutrients-amino acids in particular-are available, cells flip this switch on and begin to grow. Researchers at KAIST and Yonsei University have now uncovered the molecular mechanism by which amino acid signals activate this cellular growth switch.

Engineered Probiotic Bacteria Deliver Immune Therapy Directly Into Pancreatic Tumors

Cancer immunotherapies have transformed treatment for many cancers, but pancreatic cancer remains especially difficult to treat. One major reason is that pancreatic tumors often create a "cold" tumor microenvironment, where the tumor prevents immune cells from mounting a strong attack.

Kobe University Unveils Mass-Producible Off-the-Shelf Cancer Fighters

Off-the-shelf and mass-producible immune cells fight solid human tumors engrafted into mice. The Kobe University development is a significant contribution towards faster and cheaper cancer immunotherapy.

New Research Links CALB2 Gene to Mechanoresistance in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

When a cancer cell leaves the original tumor to spread to a new, far away location, it first has to survive what most cells cannot: periodic high force moments in the vessels and heart of up to 5,000 dynes per centimeter squared as it circulates throughout the body.

Artificially Recreating C3 Effects Overcomes Resistance in Hard-to-Treat Tumors

An ancient molecule that existed long before the blood circulation system evolved, has been found to support cancer immunotherapy. Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan found that complement C3 protein acts inside tumors to prevent the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells, but only when produced inside the tumor.

CRISPR Gene Editing Reveals How Enhancer Hierarchies Regulate Gene Expression

Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are activated.

Demographic Biases Threaten the Fairness of Global Single-Cell Human Atlases

The single-cell "atlases" that are increasingly used to map the human body and as training data for artificial intelligence models, may not represent the world's populations fairly, according to a study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
