There are certain risk factors that can make a person more prone to contracting the disease, some of which may be genetic.

Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to steer the particles toward lymph nodes while reducing off-target delivery ...

The management of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer is continually evolving. Recent data now support omitting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in most patients with metastases in up to two ...

Mouse research shows tattoo pigments move into lymph nodes within minutes and persist for months Ink triggered immune-cell death, chronic inflammation and weakened response to an mRNA COVID shot ...

Scientists have found that preserving lymph nodes during cancer surgery could dramatically improve how patients respond to immunotherapy. The research shows that lymph nodes are essential for training ...

Limited data are available on survival outcomes after sentinel-lymph-node biopsy alone as compared with lymphadenectomy in cervical cancer. In this multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we ...

Removing lymph nodes during cancer surgery has saved countless lives in many tumour types. Yet recent research is challenging parts of this long-standing practice. Imagine your body’s immune defences ...

As an oncologist, I’m often asked by family and friends about swollen lymph nodes. Even I find them concerning at times, wondering if they could be a sign of cancer. I should know better. Most lymph ...

"Our research suggests that removing lymph nodes during cancer surgery, a common practice to prevent tumour spread, may inadvertently reduce the effectiveness of treatments, such as checkpoint ...

A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role ...

A new method to keep human lymph node tissue alive and functioning outside the body for several days could give researchers a much clearer view of how our immune system responds to infections, ...
