In a recent study published in Frontiers in Immunology, researchers investigated the anticancer effects of drugs targeting human tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in vivo. In humanized murine models ...

Mice with human immune cells are a new way of testing anti-cancer drugs targeting the immune system in pre-clinical studies. Using their new model, a Kobe University research team successfully tested ...

Scientists are getting a better handle on the complexities of how immunity works. Attentive readers might have noticed my absence over the last couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to recover from a bout ...

An experimental treatment rejuvenates the immune system of older mice, improving the animals’ ability to fight infections. If it works in humans, the therapy could reverse age-related declines in ...

A new study has uncovered a key mechanism that helps one of the deadliest brain cancers evade the immune system, according to ...

During the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the rate of serious illness and death was jarringly high in older populations. Why? Weakening immune systems — as we age, we become more vulnerable to infections, ...

An early view of the immune response to bacteria in the lungs provides clues as to why some people keep TB in check, while ...

A study linking accelerated immune-cell aging to emotional, but not physical, depressive symptoms strengthens evidence that ...

Currently developed cancer immunotherapies modify the interaction of cancer cells and the immune system, making drug testing targeting human cancer outside of clinical trials difficult. Kobe ...
