A research team led by Professor Ki-Young Lee at the College of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, has uncovered a previously unrecognized tumor-intrinsic role of the immune checkpoint molecule PD-L1, ...
The incidence of infection by Mycobacterium abscessus is increasing in patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other chronic pulmonary diseases, leading to an ...
Discover how specialized cells form immune-boosting niches in lung tumors, unlocking new strategies to enhance cancer treatments and improve outcomes. Study: Fibroblastic reticular cells generate ...
A newly identified lung cell “switch” could help doctors unlock the lungs’ natural ability to heal themselves.
Scientists have found a way to supercharge lung cancer treatment by transplanting healthy mitochondria into tumors, which both boosts immune response and makes chemotherapy far more effective. By ...
The so-called guards are tumor macrophages. Under normal conditions, macrophages serve as first responders, helping fight infections and repair tissue damage. Inside tumors, however, these cells are ...
On a clear polymer chip, soft and pliable like a gummy bear, a microscopic lung comes alive - expanding, circulating, and, for the first time, protecting itself like a living organ. (Nanowerk News) On ...
Alveolar macrophages are immune cells that live in the tiny air sacs of the lungs. Under normal conditions, these cells act as guardians, keeping the lungs healthy, supporting breathing, and ...
