Antibodies and Immunology

Antibodies are produced by our immune systems to protect our bodies from unwanted substances, such as infections. When a harmful substance enters the body, antibodies bind themselves to the foreign substance in order to destroy it. In this hub, you will find a wide range of articles, research papers, and the latest news on antibodies and immunology.

Sabotaging T Cell Exhaustion for Cancer Therapy

Like all hardworking things, the cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) of the immune system charged with detecting and destroying cancer cells tend to get very tired-so much so, in fact, that they can even die from exhaustion.

18 Nov 2025

Blocking a Hidden Tumor Pathway Revives the Immune System

A new study has discovered a molecular signal that tumors exploit to exhaust the T cells meant to destroy them-and how silencing that signal could revive the body's immunity.
