TLR4: Unraveling the Role of Inflammation in Cancer Progression(Post)
Introduction to TLR4 and Cancer Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key component of the innate immune system, primarily responsible for detecting infections and initiating inflammatory resp
The Adenosine Axis: How CD39 and CD73 Switch Immunity Off(Post)The most abundant immunosuppressive molecule in a solid tumour is not a protein. It is adenosine — a metabolite, produced from ATP in two enzymatic steps, at concentrations orders of magnitude above

CAR-T Cell Signalling Pathway: Costimulation, Output and Assays(Post)A chimeric antigen receptor is a synthetic protein wired into a real signalling pathway. The extracellular half is an antibody fragment; everything below the membrane is borrowed from the T-cell rece
Biosimilar: Expanding Access to Monoclonal Antibody-Based Therapies(Post)1. What is a Biosimilar? A biosimilar is a biologic medical product that is highly similar to an already-approved reference biologic. While minor differences in clinically inactive compon
JAK-STAT Signalling and Cytokines: The What, How, and Why(Post)Cell Signalling · CytokinesJAK-STAT Signalling: Mechanism, Regulation and InhibitorsJAK-STAT is the shortest route from a cytokine outside the cell to a change in gene transcription — receptor engagem
Freezing Stimulated T Cells: A Detailed Guide(Post)Cryopreservation of stimulated T cells is a common technique in immunology research, allowing for long-term storage while maintaining their functional viability. Stimulated T cells—especi
CD4+ T Cells: Unveiling the Role of Helper and Regulatory T Cells(Post)CD4+ T cells are central to the immune system, functioning as coordinators of immune responses and regulators of immune tolerance. These cells are divided into two primary subtypes: Helpe
Chemokines(Page)The Leukocyte Adhesion Cascade: Integrin Signalling and Assays(Post)
Every leukocyte that reaches an inflamed tissue has solved the same mechanical problem. It must stop, in under a second, against a shear flow that would otherwise sweep it past the site of infection.
Targeting VISTA: Unleashing the Power of T Cells in Cancer Therapy(Post)V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is an emerging immune checkpoint receptor that plays a key role in suppressing T cell activity within the tumor microenvironment (TME).
cGAS-STING Signalling: Pathway, Regulation and Key Assays(Post)Double-stranded DNA in the cytosol is always a mistake. A virus has uncoated, a mitochondrion has ruptured, a micronucleus has burst, or a chromosome has been broken and left unrepaired. cGAS treats
Macrophage Activation: A Keystone in Immune Response and Therapeutic Potential(Post)In the intricate tapestry of the immune system, macrophages play a pivotal role, orchestrating a wide range of biological responses that protect the body against pathogens, remove cellular debris,
IgE and Mast Cells: The Cell Is Armed in Advance(Post)The mast cell is loaded long before the allergen arrives. IgE bound to FcεRIα is not waiting to be recruited the way an antibody waits for antigen in a serum assay — it is already installed on the ce
