The ability to expand and activate natural Killer (NK) cells ex vivo has dramatically changed the landscape in the development of novel adoptive cell therapies for treating cancer over the last decade ...

As well as being essential in the precise packaging of DNA into the space of the nucleus, histone proteins are also the site ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

such as antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer (NK)-cell cytotoxicity and the activation of neutrophils. However, activated NK cells can also kill MSCs. MSCs inhibit T-cell ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

IL-1 activity on both DCs and T cells can further shape the adaptive immune response with variable outcomes. IL-1 signaling in DCs promotes their ability to induce T cell activation, but also direct ...
