2024年9月13日 · Scientists have long sought ways to boost T cell performance, and now, a groundbreaking discovery offers a new hope: transferring healthy mitochondria into T cells to supercharge their cancer-fighting abilities.

2015年5月19日 · A dramatic video has captured the behaviour of cytotoxic T cells – the body’s ‘serial killers’ – as they hunt down and eliminate cancer cells before moving on to their next target.

2021年10月14日 · Cambridge researchers have discovered how T cells – an important component of our immune system – are able to keep on killing as they hunt down and kill cancer cells, repeatedly reloading their toxic weapons.

In June 2024, the lab published a method for injecting a biomaterial under the skin that can lure in worn-out CAR T-cells (engineered immune cells that hunt down cancer) and rejuvenate them, with the aim of helping people remain cancer-free longer.

2024年8月28日 · New study find that our natural killer cells -- from the immune system which protect against disease and infections -- instinctively recognize and attack a protein that drives cancer growth.

Researchers have discovered that an enigmatic type of T cell in the liver can be effective at attacking liver cancer cells, but its anti-tumor activity is suppressed in some patients.

2024年7月15日 · In order for immune cells to effectively kill cancer cells, a triad of three cells are necessary — a dendritic cell, a cytotoxic “killer” T cell, and a helper T cell, researchers at MSK and Baylor College of Medicine have found. The discovery could alter the way doctors administer immunotherapies.

2024年7月2日 · Immune-system assassins called killer T cells compress target cells, forming a destructive crater. T cells (small, rounded objects; artificially coloured) attack a cancer cell....

2024年10月7日 · Now, a newly published study by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers demonstrates that a different immunotherapy approach utilizing natural killer T (NKT) cells produced...

2025年1月24日 · The study found that cancer cells protect their transferred mitochondria by attaching molecules that prevent the T-cells from breaking them down. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized ...
