The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...

Scientists at the University of Lausanne have identified a specialized fibroblast subtype that directs cytotoxic T lymphocytes to key positions within lymph nodes, enabling effective immune responses ...

Cornell biomedical engineers have developed specialized white blood cells - dubbed "super natural killer cells" - that seek out cancer cells in lymph nodes with only one purpose: destroy them. This ...

Cancer treatment routinely involves taking out lymph nodes near the tumor in case they contain metastatic cancer cells. But new findings from a clinical trial show that immunotherapy can activate ...

The research group of Prof. Sanjiv Luther at the Department of Immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered that a fibroblast subtype is ...

An immune-regulating cell present in lymph nodes may be able to halt severe cases of sepsis, an out-of-control inflammatory response that can lead to organ failure and death. In the August 13 issue of ...

These findings from research into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are based on analyses of human patients and a murine model. The immunosuppressive role of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in ...

The lymph node (LN) is a pea-sized (0.1–2.5 cm long), bean-shaped organ of the lymphatic and immune system. A human possesses approximately 500–600 lymph nodes and collectively, lymph nodes enable ...
