Researchers at VIB and VUB have developed a powerful new way to study how the immune system behaves inside lung tumors. By combining a patient-relevant mouse model with single-cell technologies, the ...

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune ...

Senescent cells walk a tightrope, risking cell death with high levels of iron and other damaging agents, but compensating for this by overproducing a protective protein, GPX4, which staves off death.

Scientists have developed a strategy to boost the cancer-fighting power of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system's first line of defense.

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping ...
