With videos of dramatic cancer cell deaths and unflagging T cell attacks, Alex Ritter studies how immune cells and tumors battle with microscopic precision.

The immune system comprises a treasure trove of cell types with the potential to destroy cancer cells.

Exposing mice to ovalbumin using a viral vector protected mice from anaphylaxis and abolished existing egg allergies.

Some scientists use cancer patients as libraries for discovering novel immunotherapies.

Learn how scientists leverage the power of natural killer cells to fight cancer.

The tumor microenvironment does more than simply support tumor growth. It may offer new avenues for cancer therapeutics.

Uncover genomic and epigenomic variations within a group of cells using single cell sequencing.

There are now more cancer treatment options than ever before. However, almost all of them face the same major challenge: eventually, they stop working. There are several unique ways in which cancer cells evade death. Now, scientists are inventing new technologies to target these mechanisms and overcome resistance.

In children, T cells effectively combat acute infections such as COVID-19, but a new study in mice suggests that the T cell response is detrimental when fighting pediatric tumors.
