In a new study, researchers decided to take a deep dive into TFRs using lymph nodes (LNs) and blood samples of HIV treated and untreated alongside healthy controls to determine the functions and key regulators of TFRs...
What role do CD137L and CD4 T-cells have in B-cell lymphoma immuno-surveillance?
In a new study, researchers sought to find out what role CD4 T-cells play when it comes to aiding the tumour-suppressing function of CD8 T-cells, and possibly unpack the exact mechanisms that can account for the immunosurveillance observed from CD4 T-cells...
