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

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

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 ...

A team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered that a group of cells located in the skin and other areas of the body, called neural crest stem cells, are the source of ...

A new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), published in Cell, reveals how a high fat diet can rewire liver cells, pushing them back into an immature, stem cell like state that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have discovered a way to turn the body’s B cells into tiny surveillance machines and antibody factories that can pump out specially designed ...

SEATTLE – April 12, 2017 – Researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have developed biodegradable nanoparticles that can be used to genetically program immune cells to recognize and ...
