Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...
A new AI tool that models how variations in peptides change T cell receptor binding could help design immunotherapies with fewer off-target effects. Protein complexes that adorn the surface of T cells ...
T cell receptors (TCRs) are fundamental to the adaptive immune system, playing a pivotal role in recognising and responding to pathogenic challenges. Generated through the process of V(D)J ...
The gray portion of this schematic represents a nanodisc, where for the first time researchers were able to replicate the native membrane environment (red dots) of a T-cell receptor (cyan). One of the ...
Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their ...
In 2024, Professor Sebastian Kobold's research group at LMU University Hospital had already shown that the metabolite ...
Cemacabtagene ansegedleucel, an allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, is being investigated in relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma. The investigational allogeneic chimeric ...
Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...
Jefferson Health oncologist Jennifer Johnson had exhausted all the standard treatment options for her 49-year-old patient with esophageal cancer, who was likely to die within months. Surgery, ...
As of April 2025, four CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T therapies and three CD20-targeting bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have been US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the ...
A type of immune cell targeting the Epstein-Barr virus may play a key role in driving multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found.
