The benefits of dietary fiber extend beyond digestive health, as dietary fiber-derived metabolites produced by gut microbiota ...
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy, yet most patients fail to achieve durable responses. To better understand the tumor microenvironment (TME), we analyze ...
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 ...
Cutaneous melanomas express a high number of potential neoepitopes, yet a substantial fraction of melanomas shift into immunologically cold phenotypes. Using cellular systems, mouse models and large ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Belgian scientists have uncovered new details about how the immune system responds to vaccines. Dendritic cells, which are key immune messengers that help kick-start the body's defenses, show specific ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring ...
In the article that accompanies this editorial, van ‘t Land et al 24 report that additional pancreatic cancer adjuvant therapy with autologous, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with ...
Example of a simple and scalable manufacturing process for immunomodulatory alpha neutrophils, a specifically designed immuno-cell therapy with direct and indirect anti-cancer activity for solid ...
