In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. Immune cells that are designed to ...

A "hybrid" immune system approach may prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes (T1D) by combining blood stem cell and islet cell transplants. The method uses a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen to prevent ...

Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly ...

A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, ...

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade ...

A Stanford study confirmed a complete reversal of type 1 diabetes in mice through a combination of stem cell transplants and immune system therapies.

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely prevented or cured Type 1 diabetes in mice in a study by Stanford Medicine ...

Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new way to stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells, using a strategy that could make cancer immunotherapy work for many more ...

Researchers at Texas Biologics at The University of Texas at Austin, working with scientists internationally, have made an ...
