Tumors contain macrophages, immune cells capable of fighting cancer, but their function is suppressed by the tumor, ...

As people age, their immune system function declines. T cell populations become smaller and can't react to pathogens as ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Once engineered, the mast cells were loaded with oncolytic viruses, which are designed to infect and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Unlike traditional cancer treatments given through ...

Atomic defects in nanodiamonds enable both precise heating of lysosomes inside macrophages and nanoscale temperature ...

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells. The discovery, published in ...

Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell-derived islet cell therapy that could eliminate the need for insulin in those who have ...

EPFL researchers have uncovered how transcription factor dosage reshapes cell identity, showing that even small differences in dose can steer cells toward completely different fates. Their findings ...

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), published in Cell, reveals how a high fat diet can rewire ...
