A cluster of recent studies has sharpened the scientific picture of how T cells switch on, tracking the molecular signals ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Efficient T-cell engineering is crucial for the success of CAR T-cell therapy research, but it requires multiple labor-intensive steps, including T-cell isolation, activation, and transduction.

The orchestration of T cell activation is central to immune defence and self-tolerance. Recent advances have revealed that T cells integrate signals from their antigen receptors alongside a network of ...

A new AI tool that models how variations in peptides change T cell receptor binding could help design immunotherapies with fewer off-target effects. Protein complexes that adorn the surface of T cells ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

For decades, cancer immunotherapy has focused primarily on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes as the main executors of tumor cell ...

CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) serve as central effectors in cancer immunotherapy by directly eliminating tumor cells. However, current clinical therapies face significant limitations. These ...

Abnormal expansion of PD-1+ T lymphocytes may be a sign of lupus nephritis onset in patients with SLE. Elevated PD-1+CD4+ T cells represent an independent risk factor for lupus nephritis (LN) and may ...
