At the AD/PD meeting held last month in Vienna, scientists implicated T lymphocytes—specifically, the cytotoxic, CD8-positive variety—in Alzheimer’s disease. While the modus operandi of these cells in ...
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is one of the most serious complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‑HSCT). It can rapidly progress to multi‑organ failure, ...
In individuals who started antiretroviral therapy during acute HIV infection, the proliferative capacity of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells at 24 weeks of therapy predicted the subsequent reduction in the ...
Clonally expanded CD8+ T cells are key drivers of alopecia areata, mediating epithelial cell death and immune infiltration. JAK inhibitors are approved for AA treatment, but recurrence is common, ...
Immune checkpoint blockade therapy relies on releasing a natural brake in the immune system to fight cancer. This therapy activates the body’s CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, which mount an attack against ...
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have found RNA neoantigen vaccines that generate long-lived, functional CD8 + T cells in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), ...
Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...
