Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

Hijacking the energy-producing organelles from immune cells seems to help tumours in mice to infiltrate lymph nodes.

In order to generate immunity against invaders, some immune cells have to get to the lymph nodes. So how do they know how to get there? Researchers have now learned more about how crucial immune ...

Cervical lymphadenopathy presents a shared anatomic challenge for clinicians, yet it serves as the divergent starting point ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lymph nodes trigger very different immune responses – depending on which body tissue they are connected to. Special T cells are responsible for this newly discovered relation. The human body contains ...

A picture of immune cells in a lymph node. Resident cells are marked in red, circulating ones in cyan. What is striking is that regulatory T cells (outlined in yellow) are found in both forms. The ...
