New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically ...

New research reveals that keeping lymph nodes intact, which are often removed near tumors to prevent cancer from spreading, may lead to better patient outcomes and enhance the effectiveness of ...

The frequent spread of certain cancers to lymph nodes often necessitates surgery or radiation therapy that damages the lymphatic system. The new study demonstrate for the first time that growth factor ...

A recent paper in Nature Biomedical Engineering, by Dr. David J. Mooney demonstrated how a new vaccine can enhance and maintain lymph node function to boost immunity against cancer in mice. Mooney, a ...

Researchers have identified how to encourage tumors to build their own immune hubs—structures that look and function like ...

Researchers report a new way to turn off the harmful immune attack that occurs during autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), while keeping healthy functions of the immune system intact.

New research has explored cellular and molecular interactions, revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role in the fight ...

We have always imagined the immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as ...

A new study from researchers at Uppsala University presents novel findings on why human lymph nodes lose their function with age and the consequences for the effectiveness of our immune system. The ...

These findings from research into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are based on analyses of human patients and a murine model. The immunosuppressive role of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in ...
