Using retrospective clinical data and in-depth lab studies, researchers have discovered that vitamin E can enhance immunotherapy responses by stimulating dendritic cells in the tumor. Combining a ...

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 ...

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 ...

For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

Dendritic cells are immune cells that capture and present antigens to T cells, activating an immune response. Researchers have discovered that short-chain fatty acids produced by intestinal bacteria ...

The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

Treating the brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM) demands more than conventional strategies due to a mix of factors including the cancer’s genetic complexity, invasive growth, and immune resistance. A new ...

Researchers at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) show that active mitochondria ...

Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...
