A recent study by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo unveils the molecular mechanisms explaining why some "stealth" ...

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue University's W. Andy Tao and his associates have developed a new way to study ...

Once cells’ quality control mechanism is activated, IRGQ (red) accumulates in special cell organelles, the lsysosomes (green). This is also where the degradation of the non-functional MHC-I molecules ...

Jon Ditlev ’03 had research work cut out for him long before coming to Calvin. “From as early as I can remember, I’ve been interested in human biology. In high school, I took biology freshman year and ...

In a first-in-human study, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center observed strong responses and early signs of antitumor activity in patients with difficult-to-treat ...

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 ...

Regulatory T cells (red) interact with other immune cells (blue) and modulate immune responses. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases/NIH via Flickr Every day, your immune system ...

University of Toronto researchers have expanded our understanding of bacterial immunity with the discovery of a new protein ...

Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a new process in our immune systems that leads to the production of an important family of anti-viral proteins called interferons. They hope the ...

Predicting tumor progression is one of the major challenges in oncology. Scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and ...
