Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

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 ...

In a new study published in GEN’s sister peer-review journal, GEN Biotechnology, titled, “Exploring Structure-Function Relationships in Engineered Receptor Performance Using Computational Structure ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

A new multi-pronged antibody design could help immune cells receive stronger activation signals against cancer. Researchers at the University of Southampton have identified a new strategy that could ...
