Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are unconventional T cells that display a limited set of T cell antigen receptor (TCR) β-chains combined with the TCR α-chain variable region 14 in mice and α-chain ...
Subpopulations of lymphocytes reside permanently at sites of pathogen entry, where they provide immediate protection against reinfection. But, until now, it was not clear how tissue residency was ...
When pathogens invade the human body, a rapid response is required. At the forefront of the immune response are special immune cells. They reside in various tissues such as the lungs, liver, skin and ...
To address this, HOBIT incorporates a miniaturized electrocatalytic oxygenator, i.e. an oxygen-making machine that uses an iridium oxide-based surface that uses electricity supplied by an on-board ...
Against infections, tumors and inflammations, immune cells are locally positioned as rapid reaction forces in the organs of the body. On site, they specialize and take on various tasks. When pathogens ...
Innate lymphoid cells, or ILCs, are specialized immune cells that are increasingly entering the research spotlight. These cells mirror many of the characteristics and functions of T cells. In contrast ...
Implanting living cells as long-term drug producers could transform treatment for numerous diseases, but it is difficult to house the tiny workers in quantities high enough to ensure dosage needs are ...
