In most solid tumors, high numbers of regulatory T (Treg) cells are associated with poorer outcomes because they dampen the ...

A "hybrid" immune system approach may prevent or cure Type 1 diabetes (T1D) by combining blood stem cell and islet cell transplants. The method uses a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen to prevent ...

When the immune system overreacts and starts attacking the body, the only option may be to shut the entire system down and risk developing infections or cancer. Immune cells that are designed to ...

A single signaling pathway controls whether immune cells attack or befriend cells they encounter while patrolling our bodies, ...

A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely prevented or cured Type 1 diabetes in mice in a study by Stanford Medicine ...

Borrowing a cancer cell’s disguise, scientists shielded insulin-producing cells from attack by the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for targeted type 1 diabetes treatments without ...

A Stanford study confirmed a complete reversal of type 1 diabetes in mice through a combination of stem cell transplants and immune system therapies.

Normally, the immune system recognizes and eliminates abnormal cells. However, cancer cells can develop strategies to evade ...

Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have developed a new way to stimulate the immune system to attack tumor cells. Using molecules known as AbLecs, which consist of a lectin attached to a tumor ...

Scientists showed that using new molecules that block an immune "checkpoint" could stimulate a "strong" anti-tumor immune ...

Researchers at Texas Biologics at The University of Texas at Austin, working with scientists internationally, have made an ...

A new study suggests Korea’s iconic fermented dish, kimchi, may do more than enrich the gut — it could strengthen the immune ...
