The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

CAR T cells have made headlines for their ability to fight hematological cancers, but they have proven largely ineffective ...

Drug-delivering aptamers that can precisely target leukemia stem cells with enhanced potency have been developed. Delivering anticancer drugs with specificity and potency to cancer stem cells is an ...

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, identifying two molecules that must be present before synapses, the ...

A new study published in Nanotechnology offers new hope for less harmful breast cancer therapy by combining two powerful, non-invasive cancer treatments. Initial findings suggest that these two ...

MIT and Harvard scientists have designed an advanced type of immune cell called a CAR-NK cell that can destroy cancer while avoiding attack from the body’s own immune defenses. This innovation could ...

The regulatory division of the immune system is vital for its overall function. Immune T cells originate in the bone marrow and then travel to the thymus—a kind of biological police academy. 2 Here, ...

Researchers have mapped the cellular diversity of the eye’s fluid drainage tissue, uncovering a cell subtype that may contribute to glaucoma progression and respond to vitamin B3 treatment.
