Imagine a super-charged immune cell that can launch a focused attack on stubborn solid tumors -- a smart fighter that destroys cancer cells for days without tiring. Biomedical engineers have made this ...

One cell can release hundreds of virus copies. It typically dies because its resources have been used up, or it is killed by the immune system. Some viruses head off to infect more cells.

A new study has revealed that a special group of cells in the intestines tamp down the immune responses caused by exposure to food proteins. Called 'tolerogenic dendritic cells,' these cells enable ...
