C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) play central roles in immune recognition, engaging diverse endogenous and exogenous ligands through their C-type lectin-like ...
Florida Atlantic University has received a $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate how an immune-related receptor in neurons plays a fundamental role in brain function ...
Most cancer treatments – from chemotherapies to engineered immune cells – have a host of side effects, in large part because they affect healthy cells in the body at the same time as targeting tumor ...
Researchers have developed a new class of antibodies that amplify the immune system’s ability to fight cancer. By clustering immune receptors that normally receive weak signals from tumors, these four ...
Scientists have long studied a family of sensor proteins called C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), which are crucial for detecting and eliminating pathogens. Most CLRs act like a car's gas pedal, ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to ...
Washington: The researchers at the University of Chicago have uncovered a surprising new role for zeaxanthin, a plant-based ...
