Experimental cancer vaccine makes its own oxygen and gives T-cells a boost
When it comes to priorities in life, oxygen tops the list. Humans can go weeks without food and days without water. Take away the ability to breathe, however, and the clock starts ticking within minutes as the brain begins ...

Cancer cells release antioxidants to prevent immune cells from destroying them
Molecules called reactive oxygen species, which include so-called "free radicals," have long been viewed as damaging byproducts of our body's metabolism—a reason antioxidant supplements have been considered a potential way ...

Key path to Alzheimer's-like brain damage starts outside the brain
Immune cells that normally protect the body from damage by attacking foreign or infected cells are found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders at much higher levels than in healthy brains. ...

MS therapy uses patients' red blood cells to curb autoimmune attacks without broadly suppressing immunity
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that particularly affects young adults. The disease is driven by immune cells—primarily what are known as T lymphocytes. These cells normally fight off ...

Experimental Zika vaccine reveals T cells can drive protection without antibodies
Zika virus has been spreading for decades, but it first grabbed worldwide headlines in 2016. That February, with an outbreak sweeping the Americas, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the surge in Zika-linked birth ...

New oral nanomedicine boosts effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies
Immune checkpoint blockade is a form of cancer treatment that works by releasing the natural brakes on the immune system, allowing T cells to find and destroy cancer cells. Although it has transformed cancer immunotherapy, ...

'Teacher cells' coated with tumor fragments train T cells to attack cancer in lab tests
The immune system possesses legions of T cells that, if primed, could hunt down and destroy tumors. Now, a UC San Francisco team has invented a way to do this by combining immune cells grown in the lab with samples from a ...
