In a new study published in the journal Cancer Immunology Research, our researchers, led by Amer A. Beg, Ph.D., show how stimulating dendritic cells through the CD40 and interferon β (IFNβ) pathways produces strong T cell activity against…

Researchers from the Epigenetics and Immune Disease Lab at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have recently shown that vitamin C improves the immunogenic properties of dendritic cells, in vitro. Results recently made public…

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for two diseases, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, that are characterized by the prolonged inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This condition often leads to the development…

Combining a retrospective analysis of clinical records with in-depth laboratory studies, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that vitamin E can enhance immunotherapy responses by stimulating the…

A recent study from the University of Helsinki reveals that inhibiting certain adhesion receptors on the surface of dendritic cells, the main antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, enhances antitumour responses. Dendritic cells are…

Researchers at the University of Bonn have shed light on the function of the enzyme SLK for the development of nerve cells in the brain. If it is missing, the neurons' branches are less abundant. In addition, it is then more difficult to…
