Lymphoid-derived conventional dendritic cells (L-cDCs) may play a unique function associated with immune suppression and allergy induction, as reported by researchers from Japan. Long thought to arise ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening cancer vaccines. Scientists have now developed a drug that shuts down this ...

A vitamin A byproduct could weaken the immune system's cancer-fighting ability, according to new Princeton University ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches. As part of the innate immune system, ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as pivotal sentinels of the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive responses by processing and presenting antigens to T cells. Their inherent versatility enables them ...

Scientists have uncovered a troubling role for a vitamin A byproduct in cancer, which appears to help tumours slip past the ...

Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...
