How the body’s natural killer cells could fight leukemia

Research into new therapies

20-Dec-2024 - Every year, some 13,000 people in Germany are diagnosed with leukemia. Despite intensive chemotherapy, around one in two of them die. Making matters worse is the fact that the therapies currently available have severe side effects and inhibit the formation of new healthy blood cells in ...

"Sleep timer" for immune cells discovered

Hepatitis B: Liver cells switch off the immune response

15-Jul-2024 - In chronic hepatitis B, the liver contains immune cells that could destroy hepatitis B virus-infected cells but are inactive. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that cells in blood vessels in the liver start a “sleep timer” that switches off immune cells. ...

Tumor cells evade the immune system early on

Newly discovered mechanism could significantly improve cancer immunotherapies

26-Apr-2024 - Tumors actively prevent the formation of immune responses by so-called cytotoxic T cells, which are essential in combating cancer. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) Hospital have now uncovered for the first time how this ...

Computer-engineered DNA to study cell identities

“We can follow with our eyes the color in a petri dish when we give a treatment”

12-Feb-2024 - A new computer program allows scientists to design synthetic DNA segments that indicate, in real time, the state of cells. Reported by the Gargiulo lab in “Nature Communications”, it will be used to screen for anti-cancer or viral infections drugs, or to improve gene and cell-based ...
