Dendritic cells are immune cells that capture and present antigens to T cells, activating an immune response. Researchers have discovered that short-chain fatty acids produced by intestinal bacteria ...
EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...
A new study suggest that using CXCL9 and CXCL10-producing dendritic cells alongside immunotherapy can be a promising strategy to overcome treatment resistance and improve clinical outcomes for ...
Cancer immunotherapy is a strategy that turns the patient’s own immune cells into a “search-and-destroy” force that attacks the tumor’s cells. The “search” immune cells are the dendritic cells, which ...
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 ...
A recent study by Okayama University researchers found that short-chain fatty acids produced by intestinal bacteria trigger the extension of the dendrites of dendritic cells by inhibiting an enzyme ...
Cancer immunotherapy transforms a patient’s immune cells into a “search‑and‑destroy” force against tumors. But many cancers learn to camouflage themselves from dendritic cells—the immune system’s ...
