Researchers at VIB, Ghent University, and VUB have uncovered how two proteins essential for immune cell development work together at the molecular level. The findings provide important insights into a ...

Persistent viral infections pose a unique challenge to the immune system. Prolonged antigen exposure drives T cells into a state of exhaustion — a ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can’t react to pathogens as quickly, making individuals more susceptible to a variety of infections. To try ...

We owe a lot to tissue resident memory T cells (T RM). These specialized immune cells are among the body's first responders to disease. Rather than coursing through the bloodstream-as many T cells ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies have transformed cancer and autoimmune disease treatment. Modified CAR proteins equip T cells with the ability to identify and eliminate cancer cells ...

Researchers found that lowering MHC I can expose cancerous or foreign cells to CD4+ T cell attack, reshaping assumptions ...

Luke Pase and Prof. Fujiwara discuss how new targeting strategies and scalable manufacturing approaches are advancing ...
