Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...

A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer reveals novel mechanisms of the metabolic-immune interaction that ...

Fewer older women with early-stage, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer are undergoing routine sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), according to data that were presented at the ...

A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast ...

Scientists at McGill University and the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute have developed a new way to deliver cancer immunotherapy that caused fewer side effects compared to standard ...

Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

Patients newly diagnosed with cancer typically focus on one question, eclipsing all others: "What is my prognosis?" Determining a cancer patient's prognosis - the likely course and outcome of their ...

Recently, omission of axillary lymph node dissection among patients with early breast cancer has been found to have no detrimental effect on outcomes in most cases, continuing a trend toward less ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...
