Lymph nodes are key control centers in the immune system and play an important role in defending the body against infections ...

A new study maps the organisation of immune and stromal cells in lymph nodes and shows how loss of this organisation affects ...

Lymph nodes are located at the junction of lymphatic vessels in the body. Lymphatic vessels transport fluid containing antigenic material, dendritic cells (DCs), and inflammatory biochemicals from ...

A newly described stage of a lymph node-like structure seen in liver tumors after presurgical immunotherapy may be vital to successfully treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, according to a ...

Researchers at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and University Hospital Düsseldorf (UKD) have succeeded in mapping the organisation of immune cells in human lymph nodes for the first time.

For the first time in decades, researchers have identified a new 'micro-organ' within the immune system -- and they say it's an important step towards understanding how to make better vaccines. For ...

Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to ...

A new nanoparticle design directs mRNA vaccines to lymph nodes. The strategy reduced off-target delivery, maintained immune ...

Determining the presence of mantle cell lymphoma involves a physical examination, microscopic analysis, genetic screening, and specialized antigen tests. Your body’s lymphatic system is made up of ...
