Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a ...

Cytokine networks demonstrate dual functionality. Cytokines are key regulators of immune homeostasis, but paradoxically, cytokines also function as pathogenic drivers in diseases such as systemic ...

Discover how targeted therapies are revolutionizing autoimmune disease treatment by offering greater precision.

Phagocytosis by macrophages promotes pancreatic β cell mass reduction after parturition in mice. Developmental Cell, 2023; 58 (19): 1819 DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2023.08.002 ...

Every time we take the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test, the first thing we look for in the report is what we know of: ...

In a previous study, other researchers had seen that CD8 T-cells produce more of the protein STAT4 after encountering an infection. This makes them more like natural killer cells, which have high ...

Together, the scientists found that more than 5,000 genes, or nearly a third of all the genes expressed by healthy islet cells, change their expression in response to ER stress or cytokine stress.

The first-in-class M-ceNK cells use the patient’s own NK cells, which have been enriched with cytokines including ImmunityBio’s IL-15 superagonist N-803, to recognize and kill cancer targets ...
