The surgical anesthesia drug, propofol, used in tumor removal, could help promote the spread of cancer by triggering changes in tumor cell properties.
Results for "immune cells"
Degradable microrobots could help deliver cells within the body
Researchers find the sweet spot between strength and biocompatibility in these tiny cell-carrying microrobots.
Scientists ‘farm’ natural killer cells in novel cancer fighting approach
Engineers and oncologists teamed up to develop a microfluidic chip capable of capturing the body’s natural killer immune cells to harvest their cancer-killing exosomes.
Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine shows immune response in elderly patients
A small trial indicates that Moderna’s experimental SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is effective and safe in older adults, a population group most vulnerable to severe COVID-19.
Stealthy microrobots that can evade the immune system
Zwitterionic polymers allow researchers to fabricate drug-carrying microrobots that can operate covertly under the immune system’s radar.
Two coronavirus vaccines show immune response in human trials
Scientists express cautious optimism about two potential COVID-19 vaccine candidates from the UK and China.
Human-on-a-chip provides an accurate model for the immune system
A new in vitro model of the body’s immune system better predicts its response to new therapeutics, potentially lowering the high costs and low success rates of drug discovery.
Timing of immune response to COVID-19 may contribute to disease severity
The interaction between the innate and the adaptive immune responses to COVID-19 may be impacting disease progression, and the answer might be to suppress them.
What cells does SARS-CoV-2 attack?
A collaborative team of German scientists identify which lung cells are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and why infection severity varies in different demographics.
Gaining insight into how our immune systems combat COVID-19
Researchers have mapped the immune response of one of Australia’s first COVID-19 patients.
