BATMAN brings T cell receptor therapy out of the shadows

Imagine your immune cells could be modified to attack any kind of cancer. T cell receptor (TCR) therapy has the potential to one day become a universal cancer treatment. But there are risks. Similarities between cancerous ...

IRF-5 identified as key factor in T cell energy preservation

In fighting chronic infections or certain cancers, CD8+ T cells—the immune system's frontline soldiers—eventually become exhausted. They lose effectiveness and respond less efficiently to threats. This weakening is a ...

Study sheds light on cilia's function in cells, role in diseases

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the surfaces of many cell types ...
