A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or cancerous cells. But tumour cells develop many features that help them hide from ...

Scientists have uncovered a troubling role for a vitamin A byproduct in cancer, which appears to help tumours slip past the ...

Scientists have uncovered how a vitamin A metabolite can suppress anti-cancer immunity. Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have uncovered new ...

Scientists at the Princeton University Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have identified novel mechanisms by which a metabolic derivative of vitamin A—all-trans retinoic ...

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 ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are among the first immune sentinels to detect viruses, bacteria, or other challenges. These specialized messengers alert T cells while orchestrating either a measured calm or a ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as pivotal sentinels of the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive responses by processing and presenting antigens to T cells. Their inherent versatility enables them ...

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 ...
