CAR T cells are genetically-altered cells that are designed to reset the immune system by targeting B cells, which are involved in the production of autoantibodies and lupus disease activity.

A Czech scientist has contributed to understanding the function of the thymus—the training center of the immune system. T lymphocytes, key defensive cells, learn in the thymus not to mistake the ...

Researchers from the School of Veterinary Medicine and Perelman School of Medicine have found that YY1 knockout pro-B cells can generate T lineage cells helping B cells produce antibodies. Development ...

Myeloblasts are precursors to specific types of white blood cells that help your body fight infections. Too many myeloblasts may be a sign of a blood cancer like leukemia. Myeloblasts, or blast cells, ...

It develops from the abnormal multiplication of T cells, or T-lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell essential for immune system function. The specific treatment course and prognosis for T-cell ...

Study uncovers a pathogenic subset of memory T-cells that promote tissue inflammation and highlights a potential target for treating nasal polyps and other inflammatory airway diseases. Study: ...

However, details of the intervening steps, as researchers have learned in the past 65 years, are quite complex — certain cells carry the flu antigen to the immune system, specific immune cells respond ...

Patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancers have a poor prognosis. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy as a bridge to allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) ...

Our bodies response to invading pathogens through different mechanisms of the immune system. Innate immunity first detects disease and relays a defense signal to activate the second wave of immune ...
