For her Ph.D. at VUB and KULeuven, Aarushi Caro created a kind of systematics for dendritic cells, a special group of immune cells in the fight against cancer. Until now, there was a lot of confusion ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic B cells. While autoreactive T cells are key ...

Real-world use of a CSF circulating tumor cell assay in the diagnosis and management of leptomeningeal metastasis. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract ...

The immune cell repertoire is composed of many different cell types that are orchestrated in response to infection and other pathogens that enter the body. As a result, the body can defend itself ...

Overview of secondary liver cancer care pathways, key treatment steps, and the situations where dendritic cell treatment may be discussed as a selected option.
