New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

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 ...

Vaccines trigger a notably rapid response in the stromal cells of draining lymph nodes within the first hours after administration. Researchers at the University of Turku and the InFLAMES Flagship in ...

For years, it has been a mainstay of treatment to stop the spread of many cancers. But is the removal of lymph nodes – tiny, bean-shaped nodules that filter waste and bacteria – really the best way to ...

Dr. T. Diefenbach in his zoom webinar discusses the work he and his colleagues conducted at the Ragon Insitute in Boston where the dynamics of B and T cell populations from post-mortem COVID -19 ...
