Credit: CC0 Public Domain A research study released in Science Advances shares brand-new insights into how 2 of the most typical kinds of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells eliminate cancer. Private Investigators from Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children's Cancer Center and the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy at Baylor, Houston Methodist Hospital and Texas Children's Hospital analyzed how molecular characteristics at the immune ...
Why do we have fevers? It’s more complex than ‘heat eliminates bugs.’

Science and Nature
In the middle of a flu-induced fever, it's simple to ask why your own body would subject you to the chills, sweats, and pains that support a temperature level. New research study uses some insight into what's going on below the surface area. Fever-like temperature levels move how specific immune cells act, increase activity in some crucial infection-fighters and calling down suppression in regulative cells by customizing their metabolic process, according to a research study released September 20 in the journal Science Immunology. The findings provide insight into what's long been a mystical biological procedure, assisting to partly describe how fevers battle infection. The brand-new research study might likewise shed light on the darker side of our immune reaction. The particular biolo...
