The IGFL2 gene encodes a cytokine found in primates, which are closely related to humans. In the joint tissue of people with rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral helper T (Tph) cells express IGFL2, which ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

The research groups led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger employed innovative microscopy techniques to observe how specific immune cells, known as T-cells, are activated and proliferate ...

CD4 T helper cells help the body fight infections by signaling other cells to attack germs. Without enough CD4 T cells, the body can't fight diseases like HIV and becomes immunocompromised. HIV ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a significant discovery regarding the cultivation of specialized immune cells, facilitating the development of readily available ...
