Induced pluripotent stem cells have become one of the most powerful tools in modern biomedical research, offering scientists ...

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is one of the most perplexing conditions in paediatric orthopaedics. It strikes children by ...

They discovered that the gene called Nanog helped to transform adult mouse cells into embryonic stem cells after cell fusion–when two cells are combined to form a hybrid. “The effect of Nanog is ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the "recipe" for the transformation. Researchers at Lund University have now created ...

Neural stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells present in the adult central nervous system that can self-renew, and give rise to new neurons and supporting cells called glial cells. Activation of ...

We know our own age. 20, 30, 60 years old. But what if cells also had an age? And what if that age could not only be measured ...

Metabolic reprogramming is a defining hallmark of CRC. The Warburg effect is the principal metabolic feature of CRC cells, wherein glucose is preferentially catabolized into lactate to sustain ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a key reason why immunotherapy has largely failed in pancreatic cancer—and identified a promising strategy to overcome that resistance.

The approach, by an Australian team, uses lipid nanoparticles to target a type of immune cell that can help tumours evade the ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a form of stem cell therapy that "reverses" paralysis. Though the treatment has only seen a 50% success rate so far, two of the four people who received it have ...

Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have identified a new way to reprogram T cells, which are infection and tumor-fighting white blood cells, so that they have a ...
