The immune system consists of inflammatory and regulatory T cells (Tregs) that promote or dampen immune activity, respectively. These cells react to specific antigens that specialized cells like ...

Damya Laoui, PhD, a bioengineer and immunologist at the Brussels Center for Immunology of the Department of Bioengineering Sciences in Brussels, Belgium, and the Flemish Institute of Biotechnology in ...

Silencing mRNA expression in dendritic cells did not impair T‑cell priming, including for SARS‑CoV‑2 antigens, suggesting that cross‑presentation by other cell types is sufficient to initiate immunity ...

The immune system is a complex response of various cells that detect and elicit mechanisms to eliminate disease. This ...

Dendritic cells are among the first to detect viruses, bacteria, or other immune challenges. These cells help coordinate the immune system’s response by alerting T cells, the immune system’s soldiers ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) have emerged in the field of cancer immunotherapy as the most potent professional antigen-presenting ...

A new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai overturns a longstanding assumption about how mRNA ...

A surprising backup system in the immune response to mRNA vaccines may hold the key to more effective cancer treatments.

In a new study published in Science titled, “Mitochondrial metabolism and signaling direct dendritic cell function in antitumor immunity,” researchers from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have ...
