A vitamin A byproduct has been found to quietly disarm the immune system, allowing tumors to evade attack and weakening ...

A vitamin A byproduct could weaken the immune system's cancer-fighting ability, according to new Princeton University ...

Scientists have uncovered a troubling role for a vitamin A byproduct in cancer, which appears to help tumours slip past the ...

EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a ...

LMU researchers have shown that a particular type of immune cell acts more flexibly than previously thought - with potential for new therapeutic approaches. As part of the innate immune system, ...

Retinoic acid suppresses immune defenses against cancer, but a new drug KyA33 boosts vaccine success and slows tumor growth in animal models.

Dendritic cells (DCs) serve as pivotal sentinels of the immune system, bridging innate and adaptive responses by processing and presenting antigens to T cells. Their inherent versatility enables them ...

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 ...
