immune cells

Proof of principle study in mice uses emerging technology mRNA-based therapies  The Johns Hopkins-developed nanoparticles were able to induce the destruction of the majority of the immune system cells called B cells, which contribute to diseases such as lupus and cancers of the blood. Top image: Blue dyed B cells in the spleen of an […]

For centuries, these ingredients have been used together in traditional cuisine and herbal

For HIV-1 and IAV, we have internal control samples that are from the same set of donors before infection and collected samples from them after exposure. We also collected PBMC from 12 healthy donors as

DOI: 10.1016/j.cels.2025.101457 In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the “recipe” for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created a library of

New research from Yale confirms that artificial intelligence (AI)-based scoring of melanoma tumor-infiltrating immune cells called lymphocytes significantly outperforms traditional pathologist eyeballing. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, found open-source AI tools offered a more standardized and reproducible method for assessment, underscoring the potential for AI to enhance clinical pathology workflows.   A new Yale study found that
