A macrophage is a type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells.

New initiative aims to increase collaboration and accelerate high-impact cancer immunotherapy

The accelerated advancement of cancer immunology and immunotherapy, a type of biological therapy that boosts the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells, has significantly improved the effectiveness of cancer treatment and patient outcomes.

Study reveals why some lungs are protected against COVID

COVID-19 vaccines have saved at least a million lives in the United States alone, but for many people, a lingering fear remains: if - or when - they get hit by the coronavirus, just how bad will it be? Will they breeze through with little more than a sore throat - or will it saddle them with long-term complications, perhaps even push them to the brink of death?
