Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

These findings from research into diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are based on analyses of human patients and a murine model. The immunosuppressive role of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) in ...

Tumors, such as melanoma, release nanovesicles called exosomes (gray) that travel and lodge in the lymph nodes. There they corrupt the behavior of lymph cells. The lymphatic vessels (green) branch out ...

A new study from researchers at Uppsala University presents novel findings on why human lymph nodes lose their function with age and the consequences for the effectiveness of our immune system. The ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...

The lymphatic system, made up of lymphoid tissues known as nodes and vessels, is part of the human immune system. It is involved in protecting the body against infection, by delivering immune cells, ...

Lumbar lymph nodes refer to a group of small organs that are part of the immune system. Lymph nodes are generally circular, bean-like organs that are dispersed throughout the body. The lumbar lymph ...

Cervical lymphadenopathy presents a shared anatomic challenge for clinicians, yet it serves as the divergent starting point ...

Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is lymphoma. Cancer may also spread from other areas of the body to various lymph nodes, including the neck. Swollen lymph nodes are usually due to a cause other ...
