A study published in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune ...

For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection or form precise, short-lived contacts with other cells, by constantly ...

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new ...

Researchers found that zeaxanthin, long associated with eye health, may also boost the body’s immune response against cancer.

Cancer immunotherapies, including cancer vaccines, harness and amplify the immune system’s natural ability to detect and attack cancer cells. In this illustration, immune T cells (pink) attach to a ...

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system’s ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue University’s W. Andy Tao and his associates have developed a new way to study ...

Scientists have discovered that cancer uses a hidden hormone to switch off the body’s natural defenses, allowing tumors to grow unchecked. By uncovering this secret signal, they found a way to block ...

We often think about our immune system when a breakdown happens—AKA the sniffles start. Sick happens, and nothing can prevent ...
