<p><strong>Tumors actively prevent the formation of immune responses by so-called cytotoxic T cells, which are essential in combating cancer. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit&auml;t M&uuml;nchen (LMU) Hospital have now uncovered for the first time how this exactly happens. The study in the journal &quot;Nature&quot; provides rationales for new cancer immunotherapies and could make existing treatments more effective. A second paper in &quot;Nature&quot; confirms the findings.</strong></p>...

<p><strong>Immune cells must learn not to attack the body itself. A team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism behind this: other immune cells, the B cells, contribute to the &quot;training&quot; of the T cells in the thymus gland. If this process fails, autoimmune diseases can develop. The study confirms this for Neuromyelitis optica, a disease similar to Multiple Sclerosis. Other autoimmune diseases may be linked to the failure of this new mechanism as...
