Researchers at Uppsala University have discovered lymph node-like structures next to the brain tumor in patients, where immune cells can be activated to attack the cancer. In a mouse model, they have ...

Like lymph nodes, the structures have infection-fighting immune B cells in the middle and tumor-killing immune T cells on the outside. “We wanted to learn what these structures are doing.” ...
