Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

The idea of turning back the clock on the immune system has moved from science fiction to a concrete experimental strategy. A cluster of new studies suggests it may be possible to restore some of the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, attacking harmful invaders while protecting your own tissues. When that balance breaks, infections can spread unchecked, or the body ...

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 ...

A breakthrough AI system is revolutionizing cancer immunotherapy by enabling scientists to design protein-based keys that train a patient s immune cells to attack cancer with extreme precision. This ...

Andrew Monteith receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Research from my colleagues and I revealed that mitochondria play another key role in your immune response: sensing bacterial ...
